2.14.1 Describing past experiences with 过 | HSK 2 Beginner's Chinese Course
Welcome to Chinese Zero to Hero
Introduction to the Course
- The course aims to take beginners from HSK 1 to HSK 6, providing comprehensive video lessons.
- A selected lesson from the HSK 2 video course is available on YouTube for a limited time.
Discussing Past Experiences
- The lesson focuses on expressing completed actions using "了" (le) and introduces the word "过" (guò), which means "have you ever."
- Example sentence: "你看过那部电影吗?" (Nǐ kàn guò nà bù diànyǐng ma?) translates to "Have you ever seen that movie?"
Formulating Questions and Answers
- To negate a sentence with "过," use "没有" (méiyǒu). For example, “我没有去过” (Wǒ méiyǒu qù guò), meaning “I have not been.”
- When asking if someone has visited your home, structure the question as: “他们来过你家吗?” (Tāmen lái guò nǐ jiā ma?).
Additional Examples
- Another example includes asking if someone has seen a specific movie: “你看过这部电影吗?” (Nǐ kàn guò zhè bù diànyǐng ma?).
- The instructor encourages reviewing material from Lesson 14 in the textbook for further understanding.
