    I’m seeing a lot of, “了 doesn’t represent past tense.” Having I’m only 3 weeks in to my Chinese study, I could care less what it actually means right now. I just need a basic concept to grasp onto for the moment

    I teach foreign languages and I can say that this little video is clear, logical carbon-free. The grammar of Mandarin is very straightforward compared with most other languages so this is good news for learners who struggle with the tones of Mandarin and the highly complex system of writing. Thank you!

    I teach Arabic and I very much agree with you. Some teachers try to show off giving all the possible information about a certain grammer point. As you, I do believe that for beginners we should give just enough info for them to understand the situation and as time passes by they will get more and more info about the same point. I do the same in Arabic and some other professors tell me that I should give a complete explanation. I don't agree. Too much at a time is not good for beginners. Bravo! Keep on!

    These is no very strict grammar rules to express the tense. There are always multiple expressions and many exceptions. The key is make sure the others can understand you base on the context or use some regular expressions.

    Chinese does have time tense, which reflects in the word before or after the verb , as this video teaches. The only difference with English is time tense in Chinese keeps the verbs all the same ( as shown in the video, the verb eat is forever 吃, regardless the time tense)

    Personally, as an English speaker learning Chinese, I find your lessons very clear and very easy to understand and remember. They stick with me afterwards much better than many others. You are one of my favorite teachers.

    Ever since this video has been published. I have seen numerous comments criticizing the correctness of my interpretation of Chinese tenses. I have been repeatedly told that Chinese has no tenses; instead we use aspects to express time and action. And many comments clarify that the character 了 Is not a marker of past tense, but instead, an aspect marker to show an action has been completed.
