Chinese Grammar Without Tears is designed for foreign students at the elementary and intermediate levels. It may serve either as a reference book to be consulted as required, or as a textbook to be studied. The book attempts, through examples and patterns, to explain structural features with which students typically experience difficulty in the course of their study of Chinese. Points of grammar are, therefore, addressed in an order different from that of traditional grammars. To help students understand the typical features and basic rules of Chinese, some chapters also contain notes on important points and common pitfalls: here, Chinese is contrasted with English and other languages. The grammatical explanations are given in Chinese with English translation, and example sentences are given in Chinese characters with Hanyu pinyin transcription.Simplified Chinese Character.
