I am just beginning to learn Chinese, but this is very helpful. I am confused by the example sentence in the exercises at the end about the sister playing piano. Why does the verb 'play' appear twice in this sentence? Because of that, I'm not sure what order to put it in.

@klemmichard8916 2 жыл бұрын

Subject and object are functions, where verb is a head. Basic grammar teaches you you can't blend kinds and functions. Either use noun phrase + verb + non phrase, or subject + predicate + object. You can also explain the syntax with agent + action + patient. But don't mix them up.

@enricobrasil 2 жыл бұрын

It's well know in Linguistics the terminology SVO (SOV, etc.) to describe each an every language pattern on planet Earth. Your so called "basic grammar" is just too basic to understand what they are doing is completely right and common.
