Adverbs, or \u526f\u8bcd<\/strong> (f\u00f9 c\u00ed)<\/em> in Chinese, your sentences more clarity and detail. They help you express yourself better and provide extra information that might be important.<\/p>\n

So in this blog post, I’ll cover different adverbial categories, important Chinese adverbs and how to use each of them.<\/p>\n

Adverbs of Frequency<\/h2>\n

These Chinese adverbs are used to express how often or how little a certain event happens.<\/p>\n

The usual formula for using adverbs of frequency is:<\/p>\n

Subject + Adverb of Frequency + Verb + Object<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let’s take a look at some common adverbs of frequency and how they’re used:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t

Adverbs of Time<\/h2>\n

These useful words tell us when an event takes place.<\/p>\n

There are two positions adverbs of time can take when forming sentences\u2014before the subject or after the subject, and both are very common:<\/p>\n

Subject + Adverb of Time + Verb + Object<\/strong><\/p>\n

Adverb of Time + Subject + Verb +<\/strong>\u00a0Object<\/strong><\/p>\n

These patterns are mostly interchangeable, with a few exceptions (which we’ll explore soon!). Luckily, you probably already know many (if not all) of the adverbs of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t

Adverbs of Place<\/h2>\n

Third on the list are adverbs of place. These words you likely also already know, and they follow this simple formula:<\/p>\n

Subject + Adverb of Place + Verb + Object<\/strong><\/p>\n

Or, adverbs of place can simply follow the verb \u5728<\/strong>\u00a0(z\u00e0i)<\/em> \u2014 to be located, to show location.<\/p>\n

Other times, the adverb of place can become the subject, coming at the beginning of the sentence like this:<\/p>\n

That was a lot of adverbs\u2014But it probably didn’t feel like it, because you likely already knew many of them! Next, I recommend using a program like FluentU<\/a> to see these adverbs in use naturally, through videos with learning tools.

FluentU<\/strong> takes authentic videos\u2014like music videos, movie trailers, news and inspiring talks\u2014and turns them into personalized language learning lessons.<\/p>\r\n
