Practical, Comprehensive, and Free!

Resources for Chinese grammar have been scattered, incomprehensible, and hidden behind paywalls for way too long. Wikipedia has shown us a better way, and we are working hard to make Chinese grammar learner-friendly and accessible to all.

We've already got 2,125 articles online, and we're growing! If you'd like to contribute, please get in touch.

Need Pinyin?

Pinyin Popup Plugins

It's easy to get pinyin for all the Chinese characters in this wiki using free browser plugins. Also, by clicking on the little cog at the top right of any page you can also add spaces between characters if that helps you.

Try it out with this: 你 会 中文 吗 ？

Beginner (A1)

New to learning Chinese? Head over to our Learner FAQ.

Here are some good grammar points for beginners:

Elementary (A2)

At this level, you're probably started to wonder a lot about how to use 了 (le).

Here are some other useful grammar points:

Intermediate (B1)

Upper Intermediate (B2)

There are still plenty of finer points to work on at this level.

For example:

Textbook Friendly

This is the Internet Age, but it's not yet time to throw out those textbooks! We see the value in textbook grammar explanations and exercises, and are doing our best to link textbook to the Chinese Grammar Wiki content. To see how it works, try finding your own textbook in our list, and then seeing what it links to. (If there are no links yet, there will be soon!)

To create this grammar wiki, AllSet Learning and its editor partners have made extensive use of various high-quality Chinese grammar reference materials. We strongly recommend them to any serious student of Chinese grammar. Purchasing these books by clicking on the grammar references linked within this website will also help to support this project.

Some of the key reference materials for this wiki have been:
