Notes
注释 Notes
1. 疑问代词“什么” The Interrogative Pronoun “什么”
疑问代词“什么”表示疑问,用在疑问句中可直接做宾语,或者与后接 名词性成分一起做宾语。例如:
The interrogative pronoun “什么” is used in interrogative sentences, serving as the object by itself or together with a nominal element following it. For example:
(1)你叫什么名字?
(2)这(zhè, this)是什么?
(3)这(zhè, this)是什么书(shū, book)?
2. “是”字句 The “是” Sentence
“是”字句是由“是”构成的判断句,用于表达人或事物等于什么或者属于什么。其否定形式是在“是”前加上否定副词“不”。
A “是” sentence is a determinative sentence with “是”, indicating what somebody or something equals or belongs to. The negative sentence is formed by adding the negative adverb “不” before “是”. For example:
| Subject | Predicate | |
|---|---|---|
| Auxiliary / Verb | Noun / Noun Phrase | |
| 李月 | 是 | 老师 |
| 我 | 是 | 美国人 |
| 我 | 不是 | 老师 |
3 用“吗”的疑问句 Interrogative Sentences with “吗”
疑问助词“吗”表示疑问语气,用在陈述句句尾构成疑问句。例如:
The particle “吗” indicates an interrogative mood. When “吗” is added at the end of a declarative sentence, the declarative sentence turns into a question. For example:
| Subject | Predicate | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Verb | Noun / Noun Phrase | Question Particle | |
| 你 | 是 | 美国人 | 吗? |
| 你 | 是 | 中国人 | 吗? |
| 你 | 是 | 老师 | 吗? |
