Both our B2 Kindle version and our B2 print version are available now!
Your practical, free, comprehensive online resource for Chinese grammar. 2,125 articles and growing! Jump to: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1. Or: HSK 1, HSK 2, and HSK 3.
Beginner-Friendly Grammar Points
A1 grammar points: Our list is designed especially for beginners, all difficult vocabulary and grammar banished to the later levels. Easy examples, each one with pinyin. Try clicking on one of the images below:
See the full list of 40 A1 grammar points...
Essential Elementary Grammar Points
A2 grammar points: So you've learned some basic grammar, but still need pinyin and want to build a stronger foundation? You've come to the right place! Check out some of the following pages:
See the full list of 99 A2 grammar points...
Accessible Intermediate Grammar Points
B1 grammar points: For when you're ready to really consolidate your grammar knowledge and fill in the gaps, but really don't want to slog through a grammar textbook. Our self-contained grammar points give you just the right amount to work on.
See the full list of 143 B1 grammar points...
Upgrading to Upper Intermediate
B2 grammar points: These aren't easy, and often involve more formal language or finer points of the more basic grammar points. It's getting hard to find explanations that really address your needs, but this is one place you can find them!
See the full list of 154 B2 grammar points...
Ready for the really advanced stuff?
Our C1 grammar points are still a work in progress (there are 69 so far), but if you'd like to help edit them, please get in touch.
Need Help with Pinyin?
All of our A1 and A2 grammar points have pinyin throughout, but if you want pinyin for all the Chinese characters in this wiki, you can do that using free browser plugins. Also try clicking on the little cog at the top right of any page to add spaces between characters.
Try it out with this: 你 会 中文 吗 ？
Need Help with Chinese Word Order?
There's a lot of confusion out there about how similar Chinese word order and English worder really are. This video will set you straight:
For more details, please read our A1 article on basic sentence order.
Chinese Keywords
Certain Chinese words appear in lots of different grammar points. Get clear on how these words work in different ways by examining the keyword pages. Here are some examples to get you started:
There are about 400 Chinese keywords in the full list. Check it out.
English Translations
Sometimes it's useful to start with English words and look at the different ways those English words can be translated into Chinese. Here are some English words worth a closer look in translation:
There are about 100 English translation words in the full list. Check it out.
We've Got Your Textbooks and Grammar Books Covered

We all use the internet for everything now, but we see also the value in textbook grammar explanations and exercises, and are doing our best to link textbooks to our own Chinese Grammar Wiki content.
