- 3. Basic Chinese sentencestructure The most basic and common Chinese sentence structure is similar to the structure in English. A basic and common Chinese sentence structure usually is divided into three parts: 我去圖書館 (Wǒ qù túshū guǎn) I go to the library 我們吃炒飯 (Wǒmen chī chǎofàn) We eat fried rice 我學中文 (Wǒ xué zhōngwén) I study Mandarin 他喜歡喝咖啡 (Tā xǐhuān hē kāfēi) He likes to drink coffee Subject (S) + Verb (V) + Object (O) 他 (S) 玩 (V) 踢 (O) / Tā tī zúqiú He plays football
- 4. “Time When” inChinese sentence structure “Time when” will go either right before the subject or right after the subject. So, the sentence structure will become: 我明天 13:15 pm 去圖書館 (Wǒ míngtiān xiàwǔ yī diǎn shíwǔ fēn qù túshū guǎn) 明天 13:15 pm 我去圖書館 (Míngtiān xiàwǔ yī diǎn shíwǔ fēn, wǒ qù túshū guǎn) Tommorow, I will go to the library at 1.15 pm 我們昨天 20:00 pm 吃炒飯 (Wǒmen zuótiān bā diǎn chī chǎofàn) 昨天 20:00 pm 我們吃炒飯 (Zuótiān bā diǎn wǒmen chī chǎofàn) Yesterday, we eat fried rice at 8 pm Subject + Time + Verb (V) + Object (O) or Time+Subject + Verb (V) + Object (O)

Here are a few examples of exception verbs: For those exception verbs, the sentence structure will be like this: 住 zhù, to live 走 zǒu, to walk 坐 zuò, to sit time + Subject + verb + location.
