Her videos help me so much

That's soo true

She is smart. If she use mainland china as material, that would be almost perfect

You can say that again.

Thanks, your teaching method is very good. I am little confused How can I make past continues tense.

You can use adverbs to indicate the time is past and use 正在 or 正 to show the action was going. For example, 我 “昨天” “正在” 睡覺的時候, 有人走進來（我“昨天” “正在” 睡觉的时候, 有人走进来）meaning: when I was sleeping yesterday, someone came in.

@@GraceMandarinChinese I hope it's not real

Boo Bella Thank you! :P and you’re welcome!

Dont ya see that its the easiest language of all time .im shocked .explaining all tenses in just one video!!?

It's not so easy studying another language on my own, but some of the Chinese teachers, like yourself, on KZfaq have made my study more do-able and interesting. And for that I'm very grateful for your time and effort in making such educational videos. 非常感谢你们!

@@chungchhen Happy to know your learning process! Yes, I know that learning a new language on your own must be tough! Stick to it! I'll do more videos to help for sure. Hope you enjoying learning Chinese! :)

Hi! So glad to have you here! Welcome!

I'm glad it helped!

You're welcome! Glad to help ;)

Thank you! :D

Adrian Lopez Thank you🥰🥰

Ukjent oversetter Thank you!! It’s so happy to know! I’ll keep it up for sure! :D

謝謝你！

you can add or not add it. The meaning is the same. Sometimes too much “了” would be redundant.

You're welcome. ;) Glad you like them!

It's even more fascinating that 書 in chinese means "book", but in japanese it means "to write". 在 in chinese (zái) it indicates the present continous tense, but in japanese (zai) it means solely the temporal word "present". I loved it!

@@mateuslacerda284 書 in modern Chinese means "book", while in ancient Chinese and some of the sinitic language dialects in china it does mean "write" like in Japanese. 書 could mean "write" in modern Chinese as well when using the verb word "書寫", which means writing with brush or writing something big like history or legend when in formal article writing instead of daily dialog.

Samantha Corber This is such a good suggestion!! Thanks a lot! :D

It sounds like "dei-xia" probably because your husband was speaking relatively fast. Just like liaisons in Western languages, Chinese, when speaking fast, may pronounce some characters "together". (I am a native mandarin speaker so I know haha. I myself also often say "dei-xia")

LaoziAgainstTheMachine Thanks! Glad you enjoy the lesson😊

You're welcome!

謝謝你～

Thanks!

Afyanti 14 Thanks for the suggestion! ;)

Hello John! Thanks for your encouragement! It means a lot to me ;) About your question, they are interchangeable in most of the context but 正在 is more stressed on the action is ongoing "at that moment". i.e. He's "right" doing his homework. Hope this helps!

@@GraceMandarinChinese It does indeed, thank you :) It's really great, how you pay attention to every comment, but I hope sometime soon there will be to many of them, for you to have time to answer :D

John Hobman hahaha thanks! 😝

"正在“ tends to emphasize the present action，a bit more formal than ”在“， it's like the difference between "I am eating right now" and "I'm eating", notice the tone difference. And "正在” ONLY indicates action, but "在“ can also be used to indicate location "他在家里”， “He is at home", we also have another phrase"现在在“ to emphasize both present action or location , "他现在在吃饭” “he is eating right now", "他现在在家里” "he is at home right now".
