Some of Chinese learning courses would teach people from the basic sentence pattern.Then, people can talk some simple sentence in a short time.
But, people may be hard to understand the logic of Chinese sentence, and be easy to speak Chinese with English logic.
Therefore, I have to show you about basic features and logics of Chinese speakers below.
Sentence pattern of Chinese
All of Chinese sentences are included below 4 patterns.
No matter how many added words or clause in sentence, the type of pattern won't be change.
Sentence Pattern 1 : 敘事句 xù shì jù
To describe what happen(ed) to the subject.
Subject + verb +...
* Normally, it often to be used with "will do...", "can do...","want to... "...etc.
* Sometimes, the part of speeches of vocabularies are different between English and Chinese, please pay attention on it.
e.g. He goes dancing.
他去跳舞。
tā qù tiào wǔ。
Sentence Pattern 2 :有無[无]句 yǒu wú jù
To describe whether the attributes, belongings, states, or behaviors of subject exist or not.
Subject + 有 yǒu/ 沒有méi yǒu/ any same meaning words +...
e.g. I have parents.
我有父母。
wǒ yǒu fù mǔ。
Sentence Pattern 3 : 表態[态]句 biǎo tài jù
To describe the state of subject by adjective or clause.
Subject + adverb + adjective +...
e.g. Sister is pretty .
妹妹很漂亮。
mèi mei hěn piào liàng。
* It must fill with an adverb in this sentence pattern.
e.g. very (很 hěn、非常 fēi cháng)
* Pay attention that「很 hěn」doesn't means "very" all the time.
Because this pattern must need an adverb for the adjective.
Sometimes, it's just a filler word in the sentence.
To explain or judge facts about subject.
Subject + 是 shì /不是 bú shì +...
e.g. He is student.
他是學[学]生。
tā shì xué shēng。

Because this pattern must need an adverb for the adjective.
Sometimes, it's just a filler word in the sentence.
Therefore, that the reason why I translate the example as "Sister is pretty" instead of "Sister is really pretty" here.
* If lack of an adverb, "漂亮 piào liàng" becomes a verb (become sentence pattern 1), but it doesn't make any sense. So, this usage is wrong here.
Sentence Pattern 4 : 判斷[断]句 pàn duàn jù* If lack of an adverb, "漂亮 piào liàng" becomes a verb (become sentence pattern 1), but it doesn't make any sense. So, this usage is wrong here.
To explain or judge facts about subject.
Subject + 是 shì /不是 bú shì +...
