Introduce:Basic Chinese Grammar Rules and Logic
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.
    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
To explain or judge facts about subject.
Subject + 是 shì /不是 bú shì +...

e.g. He is student.
       他是學[]
       tā shì xué shēng。
