AMAZING!!! I have watched this video so many times and sent it to my students for helping them understand it better! the way you explained is way clearer than any other ways I could possibly think!!! HUGE THANK YOU!
Great job! One quick suggestion: Use ‘the book’ instead of ‘a book’ and the like in your English explanation, i.e. use definite article in place of indefinite article as the vast majority of the noun after ‘ba’ is definite. In fact, this is one of the rules we want students to apply when we teach the structure.
I agree it confused me at first but now it's all clear and it makes sense, when we speak mandarin we want to put the most important things at the end of the sentence
I could only find your seven videos but which are the best Chinese grammar lessons, I mean I , and someone learning Chinese, need more lessons from you.
William Khant, Thank you so much for your encouragement! I apologize for not updating in the past month due to some traveling. There is a new video coming out next week, I'm just making some final changes. Thank you for subscribing.
Thank you . I have understood this quickly. i like the way you think of the word ba as take/grab . I spent so long looking at grammar books so confused!
了 right after the verb is more like "-ed" after a verb in English to imply past tense, 了 at the end of a sentence is an aspect marker to show "change has happened". They are often interchangeable, but you can literally use them both in a sentence like 我吃了饭了。
Watching this video I could learn chinese tips and also improve my english listening!!! because you speak very clear that I foreign not fluence like me can understand very well. Thank you so much, good job for this excellent channel (I subscribed right now). best regards from Brazil
Yes, your lessons are amazingly helpful, however the background music competes for our attention. I’d rather dedicate mine to everything you are explaining. Thank you for sharing your videos with us on RUclips!
Luoyisi Shimisi Thank you for watching. There are more videos in production. Please share the videos with whomever you think would be interested. I am very pleased to learn that you liked it!
I just discovered your channel today and have watched every video multiple times....GREAT TOOLS. I can not read characters (however that is the next step in my journey of learning Chinese). Can you please give the answers in pinying as well as characters. Also will be contacting you in the near future for lesson. I am still struggling with understand what is bing said to me in Chinese.
I love your videos. Hopefully you make some more. I have 1 question though. In your sentence 我把书还给他了you don't use the measure word本。Is it not needed because of the structure 把 or is there another reason? 谢谢你
Jeroen Kalthof as fat as I know you don't need to use it, because you're talking about one, specific book. In 把 construction we can talk only about specific things, for example >this< book - 这本书 or just 书 or >this exact< photo - 这张照片/照片.
yeah when you use the 把 sentence you dont talk about a book, you talk about an specific one, so you dont need to use the messure word. I must say the 把 was really difficult for me to understand at first, cause there are different ways to use it and sometimes i didnt know which one i should use!😣😥😲😲
Took me forever to get used to 把l I mean, I eventually figured it out because it reminds me of Korean and Japanese but your translation of “take” and “then” made it so much easier to comprehend in English
I suggest Chinese speaker to use this trick to learn Japanese. Japanese language is SOV, and Chinese languages can turn into SOV structure too with this trick.
And thats one of the reason why Japanese and Korean language is easier to learn for Chinese speaker than for Indo-European language speaker on average.
Thank you for your videos, you explain everything very well. I have a question regarding your last sentence. Why do you write 了我 and not 我了 like in the sentences before? I would assert that using 了after the verb indicates simple past and at the end of the sentence past perfect. So the last sentence would be correct translated. What is right now?
When there is a measure word in the sentence (in that one its 封), the 了 that expresses past is put right after the verb. Ölçu birimi varsa 了 fiilden sonra kanka
A year too late but better late than ever. I hope you found the answer already but I’ll leave it here anyway. 给 works as a preposition when used after a verb, such as the preposition “to” or “with” in English.
can you do a video (even a quick one) that covers the difference between the same characters pronounced differently specifically 了 (le/liao) and 给(gei/ji)?
了means have done（always） if u want to say that u brought ur computer to the school,that is correct， but remember that bring to is“带去”， so u should add 带 before 去。 我把我的电脑带去学校了。
No, a verb complement is usually placed right after the verb and before the the object. So you will not see the object in front of the complement. Besides, the presence of a verb compliment often is the reason why we are using this structure for example: 我把这个蛋糕吃完了。完 here is the complement of the verb 吃.
I heard that we cannot use measure word with 把： 我把一杯咖啡喝了❎ 我把那杯/这杯咖啡喝了✅ Because we need to say smth that we mentioned before like 这杯，那杯 Can you explain this? My teacher explained it to me like this😢

The quality of your videos is just amazing. Thank you so much.
Your videos are great ! Clear, well presented and effective, I feel like I understood very quickly those grammar points. Thank you for your work !
This "ba" concept is challenging for english speaker .. you explained its basics in very simple way .. bravo
I was finding Mandarin relatively easy until this "bă" thing. Your video really helped, thanks.

Thank you for this lesson I took HSK 2 about 3 weeks ago and now here comes ba structure which is def a new concept.
Excellent explanation! 谢谢您
Your videos are helping me a lot, 谢谢！
Hi thank you for this valuable tool , can please make a video one 了at the end of sentence and了right after the verb ? Thank you

MAAAN! HOW USEFUL! THANK YOU!
this grammar was hard to understand, thank you very much! 😃😃
finally, it has 'clicked', by simply thinking of it as 'took the {..} and {..} it is 100% clear now, thanks so much!
I’ll be watching this many times, thank you so much for these grammar videos. So very helpful

Great job explaining 把！I'm adding some of your videos into my Grammar Playlist for my students if you don't mind.
Thank you! 把 is very difficult for me to understand.
So in this case 把 acts like the particle は in Japanese, and the words order also looks like Japanese word order.
把 is like を
Thank you! A very good explanation!
Thank you and more videos on grammar, please.

谢谢你。 我 觉得你清楚的解释挺有趣。我终于理解 了"把"
omg, thank you so much, now I can understand how to use it properly *-*
I suggest Chinese speaker to use this trick to learn Japanese.
Japanese language is SOV, and Chinese languages can turn into SOV structure too with this trick.
And thats one of the reason why Japanese and Korean language is easier to learn for Chinese speaker than for Indo-European language speaker on average.
Ancient Chinese is also SOV

Thank you for your videos, you explain everything very well. I have a question regarding your last sentence. Why do you write 了我 and not 我了 like in the sentences before? I would assert that using 了after the verb indicates simple past and at the end of the sentence past perfect. So the last sentence would be correct translated. What is right now?
Why hasn't this received an answer? :/ I'm wondering the same thing.
in that sentence 了 is to describe 给，not我。i think it a small mistake. it should be: 他/把/一封信/寄给了/我。
When there is a measure word in the sentence (in that one its 封), the 了 that expresses past is put right after the verb. Ölçu birimi varsa 了 fiilden sonra kanka
Thanks for sharing
It Makes me more clear
Thank you very much.
useful grammar lesson for beginner
Good explain
Very well explained!
Is 给 a verb complement? Since it combines with other verbs like in 送给，寄给，etc. Would welcome a clarification!
A year too late but better late than ever. I hope you found the answer already but I’ll leave it here anyway.
给 works as a preposition when used after a verb, such as the preposition “to” or “with” in English.
No it's not, it is a preposition. See my video about 给：ruclips.net/video/8LQzqWO1_t0/видео.html&ab_channel=TwinCitiesChineseTutor
你真棒！我把这个学会了。
can you do a video (even a quick one) that covers the difference between the same characters pronounced differently specifically 了 (le/liao) and 给(gei/ji)?

非常好!!!谢谢
Very understandable....thank you
This was great
Thanks
我愛你的課
I want to ask, I noticed that all the sentences with 把 were in past tense. I want to ask can’t it be in present tense too? Like let’s say 把手给我。
Yes, correct

Perfect !! Tks

Thank you for good videos. A question!! Is 巴 alway come with 了? Can I say 我把我的电脑去学校 ？？？
了means have done（always） if u want to say that u brought ur computer to the school,that is correct， but remember that bring to is“带去”， so u should add 带 before 去。 我把我的电脑带去学校了。
Thank you very much.
วันนี้วันดี วันนี้รวย 我把我的电脑带学校去了
@@Владимир-г8э9б it’s also right
我觉得把是为了强调名词，所以把名词提前，把动词甩在最后。
不一定 这个句式很神奇 你想强调哪个就重读哪个
在使用把的时候，一个常见的场景是出现了大量的补语：结果补语，方向补语等。所以我个人觉得把名词提前，是避免补语太多的情况下，听不清楚名词。所以也是一体两面，即澄清了宾语，又强调了动词和补语。
ba structure is very similar to Japanese and Korean phrases where verbs are always located at the end.
i think so
作為一個母語是中文的人，我都不知道中文那麼難😂
Wouldn't 把 be the verb in this case? And like the verb at the end be the complement to finish the sentence?
No, a verb complement is usually placed right after the verb and before the the object. So you will not see the object in front of the complement. Besides, the presence of a verb compliment often is the reason why we are using this structure for example: 我把这个蛋糕吃完了。完 here is the complement of the verb 吃.
need more videos bro.thank u.
I heard that we cannot use measure word with 把：
我把一杯咖啡喝了❎
我把那杯/这杯咖啡喝了✅
Because we need to say smth that we mentioned before like 这杯，那杯
Can you explain this? My teacher explained it to me like this😢
可能说: ”衣服在箱子里放到了”？
不可以。在 is used to describe the location of where the action takes place. So, when you describe the destination of an action, we can’t use it.
