Advanced Usage
Rules
“来”和“去”都可以跟别的动词搭配，表示动作的趋向。比如“进来”“进去”“出来”“出去”“回来”“回去”等等。但是有一个规则，就是在它们搭配其他动词之后形成的趋向动词都不能有宾语。 汉语初学者经常犯的一个错误就是会说“我回来中国。”其实是不对的，我们可以说“我回中国。”或者“我回中国来。” 关于这部分我们在Direction complement中详细解释。
Examples
- 明天 我 回去 美国。 You can not place an object after “回去”. Tomorrow I will return to America.
- 明天 我 回 美国。 The easiest method is to only use “回” Tomorrow I will return to America.
- 明天 我 回 美国 去。 You can also place “去” at the end of the sentence. Tomorrow I will go to America.
