Coverbs

Hi, I'm getting serious about my Chinese self-study this year so I hope that you can help me get better ! (For those who are wondering, I'm studying with the Practical Audio Visual Chinese 2nd Edition vol 2 that I brought back from Taiwan, so that is why I am using traditional characters).

Today I am having troubles regarding an exercice about coverbs. Below are several sentences in which I must choose a coverb between 跟，給，替，用 and 對.
I will be very glad if you could take a little bit of your time to look at my answers to see if they are correct, and if not, if you could explain to me the correct use. Thank you in advance for your help !

1. 我 跟 張老師學中文。here  跟 means "to follow" rather than "and".  Use 和 if you mean the latter.
2. 他 對 你怎麼樣？        對 means "to treat"
3. 誰 替 你寫信？            替 means "on behalf", so this is better than just 給 = give.
4. 她 用 筷子吃日本飯菜。Better this way
5. 這本書 對 我們很容易。對 here means "to"
6. 媽媽 給 我們做了很多菜。used correctly
7. 我不能做那件事，請你 替 我做。correct use of 替
8. 那輛汽車你是 用 多少錢買的?
9. 這枝毛筆，是誰 用 你買的？use either 給 or 替 depending on your meaning.
10. 我 給 她一塊兒去看電影。can also use 跟/和 depending on your meaning.

My suggestion is that you give an English equivalent since without context, it can mean very differently in different situations.


謝謝你！

1. 我 跟 張老師學中文。Correct.
2. 他 對 你怎麼樣？Correct.
3. 誰 替/<font color="#ff00ff" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">給</font> 你寫信？Who wrote the letter instead of you? Who wrote/sent a letter<font color="#ff00ff" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"> to</font> you?
4. 她 用 筷子吃日本<strike>飯</strike><font color="#ff00ff" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">餐</font>。You may refer to Japanese cuisine, not a dish of Japanese rice.
5. 這本書 <font color="#ff00ff" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">對</font> 我們 <font color="#ff00ff" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">來說 </font>很容易。For us, the book is very easy.

If you only use the single word 對 as a preposition, generally, you should use somebody as a subject in the sentence. For example, I am not familiar to the surroundings or what did he talk to you?

6. 媽媽 給 我們做了很多菜。Correct.
7. 我不能做那件事，請你 替 我做。The sentence is correct in grammar, but sounds a little bit weird. That implies I am not allowed to do that, so I want you to do it instead of me.

8. 那輛汽車你是 用 多少錢買的？Correct.
9. 這枝毛筆，是誰 <strike>用</strike><font color="#ff00ff" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">給</font>  你買的？Who bought the Chinese writing brush <font color="#ff00ff" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">to</font> you?
10. 我<strike> 給</strike><font color="#ff00ff" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">跟</font> 她一塊兒去看電影。I go to the movie <font color="#ff00ff" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">with</font> her. We see the movie together.

謝謝你！
