-The [[aspect particle]] 过 is used to indicate that an '''action has been experienced''' in the past. The structure is:
+#REDIRECT [[Expressing experiences with "guo"]]
-<div class="jiegou">
-Subject + Verb + 过 + Object
-</div>
-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:
-<div class="liju">
-* 我 去 <em>过</em> 中国。
-* 他 吃 <em>过</em> 小笼包。
-* 你 看 <em>过</em> 那 个 人 吗？
-</div>
-== Negating a 过 sentence ==
-Because 过 is used to talk about past actions, it should be [[Negation of past actions|negated with 没]]. The structure is:
-<div class="jiegou">
-Subject + 没 + Verb + 过 + Object
-</div>
-Some examples:
-<div class="liju">
-* 我 <em>没</em> 去 <strong>过</strong> 中国。
-* 他 <em>没</em> 听 <strong>过</strong> 这 首 歌。
-* 你 <em>没</em> 尝 <strong>过</strong> 这 种 啤酒。
-</div>
