HSK 3Bài 9/15 · 7 điểm ngữ pháp

Complex subjects, modifiers and results

Activities and clauses can become topics or subjects, while multiple modifiers narrow a noun. Result and directional complements extend beyond literal motion to recognition, onset and continuation. Interpret the whole verb–complement combination.

学汉语

Activities and qualities as subjects

A verb or adjective phrase can serve as what a statement is about without an English-style gerund ending.

学汉语很有意思。

Xué hàn yǔ hěn yǒu yì si.

Learning Chinese is interesting.

Thêm

Lỗi hay gặp: Do not add 的 automatically to every activity used as a subject.

他不来

A clause as subject

An entire subject–predicate phrase can be evaluated by a following predicate.

他不来让我很担心。

Tā bù lái ràng wǒ hěn dān xīn.

His not coming makes me worried.

Thêm

Lỗi hay gặp: The first 他 is inside the event being evaluated.

我昨天买的两本书

Multiple noun modifiers

Ownership, time/location, descriptions and quantity can precede a head noun. Order reflects scope and idiomatic grouping.

这是我昨天买的两本书。

Zhè shì wǒ zuó tiān mǎi de liǎng běn shū.

These are the two books I bought yesterday.

Thêm

Lỗi hay gặp: Do not string modifiers together without checking which one modifies which unit.

动词+到/住/走/上

Further result complements

到 can mark attainment, 住 secure retention, 走 removal, and 上 successful attachment or attainment in appropriate combinations.

请记住这个名字。

Qǐng jì zhù zhè ge míng zì.

Please remember this name.

Thêm

找到 find successfully; 记住 retain in memory; 拿走 take away; 关上 close; 穿上 put on. The same final character can carry different result senses in different lexical pairs.

Lỗi hay gặp: These results are lexical combinations, not interchangeable endings.

想起

Extended directional results

出、起、下 can describe recognition, recollection or recording instead of literal movement.

我想起他的名字了。

Wǒ xiǎng qǐ tā de míng zì le.

I remembered his name.

Thêm

听出 recognize from hearing; 想起 recall; 写下 write down. These involve recognition, retrieval or retention rather than literal movement out, up or down.

Lỗi hay gặp: No physical upward motion is intended by 起 here.

起来

Beginning an activity

起来 and certain 上 combinations can mark the onset of an activity or state.

孩子笑起来了。

Hái zi xiào qǐ lái le.

The child started laughing.

Thêm

笑起来 begin laughing; 聊上了 get talking. 上 marking onset belongs to particular combinations and is not universally interchangeable with 起来.

Lỗi hay gặp: Translate the onset rather than literal upward movement.

下去、下来

Continuation with 下去 and 下来

下去 commonly projects continuation; 下来 can view an activity as sustained through an interval to a reference point.

请继续说下去。

Qǐng jì xù shuō xià qù.

Please go on speaking.

Thêm

说下去 keep talking from now onward; 坚持下来 manage to persist through the relevant period. The temporal perspective helps explain the difference, but each combination still needs context.

Lỗi hay gặp: 下来 also has other meanings; continuation must be established by context.
