Revision as of 05:55, 4 January 2012

The aspect particle 过 is used to indicate that an action has been experienced in the past. The structure is:

Subject + Verb + 过 + Object

What this expresses is that the verb has been done at least once before, without specifying a particular time. 过 is used to talk about whether something has ever happened - whether it has been experienced.

Some examples:

  • 我 去 中国。
  • 他 吃 小笼包。
  • 你 看 那 个 人 吗?

Negating a 过 sentence

Because 过 is used to talk about past actions, it should be negated with 没. The structure is:

Subject + 没 + Verb + 过 + Object

Some examples:

  • 中国。
  • 这 首 歌。
  • 这 种 啤酒。
