In this course, we will teach you how to use the most common question sentences in Chinese with an English explanation.

The Chinese language has a high number of question words, including combinations of question words, but the most common and easiest to remember are:

• 谁 (shéi) – who

• 什么 (shén me) – what

• 哪里 (nǎ lǐ) – where

• 哪个 (nǎ ge) – which

• 什么时候 (shén me shí hou) – when

• 为什么 (wèi shén me) – why

• 怎么 (zěn me) – how

• 多少 (duō shǎo) – how many

• 几 (jǐ) – how many (any number under ten)

The first thing you have to know about the Chinese question words is where to place them in the sentence.

The answer is simple. The question word has to be placed in the position of the word you’re asking about.

This is very different from English, where you have to change the order of the words so you can create a correct sentence. When using a question word in Chinese, none of the words has to change its position in the sentence.

Let's enroll in this course and you will know how to manage all of these words.
