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 过 中国。
- 他 吃 过 小笼包。
- 你 看 过 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:
- 我 没 去 过 中国。
- 他 没 听 过 这 首 歌。
- 你 没 尝 过 这 种 啤酒。
