Learning how to properly use 反而 and 却 may seem like a head ache, but it isn't! This article will help you out!

They are placed in different parts of the sentence

反而 can be placed before or after the subject. 却 can only be placed after the subject.


Structure for 反而

Subject + 反而

反而 + Subject

Examples

  • 你 这么 做，效果 反而 不 好。However you did it, the quality was no good.
  • 你 这么 做，反而效果 不 好。However you did it, the quality was no good.

Structure for 却

Subject + 却

Examples

  • 外面 下雨，他 却 没 带 伞。It's raining outside, and I didn't bring an umbrella.
  • 外面 下雨，却 他 没 带 伞。

Both have different coverage

反而 can point to any part of the sentence to make a turning point, and it often emphasizes the structure around 是. On the other hand, 却 can only make a turning point for the the whole sentence, in other words, it can only make a turning point for the predicate part of the sentence.


反而 can change any part of the sentence

反而 + one part of a sentence

Examples

  • Chicago Bulls 没 赢 最后 一 场 比赛，反而 是 Knicks。The Chicago Bulls didn't win their last game, but the Knicks did.
  • 他们 都 觉得 Knicks 会 输 掉 最后 一 场 比赛，结果 他 反而 赢 了。They all thought the Knicks were going to lose the last game, but they won.
  • 我 以为 Knicks 会 赢 第 一 场 比赛，结果 反而 是 最后 一 场。I thought the Knicks would win the first game, but they won the last one.

却 only changes the whole sentence

却 + Verb

Examples

  • Chicago Bulls 没 赢 最后 一 场 比赛，Knicks 却 赢 了。The Chicago Bulls didn't win their last game, but the Knicks did.
  • 他们 都 觉得 Knicks 会 输 掉 最后 一 场 比赛，他 却 赢 了。They all thought the Knicks would lose the last game, but they won.
  • 我 以为 Knicks 会 赢 第 一 场 比赛，他 却 输 了。I though the Knicks would win the first game, but they lost.

反而 and 却 express different degrees

Sentences with 反而 express a strong and sudden turn, possibly exceeding expectations. Sentences with 却 are just common turning points. 反而 could be a 180°degree turn, while 却 could be just a 90°.


Examples

  • 我 帮 了 他，他 却 不 高兴 了。This is a normal turn of events. I helped him, but he wasn't happy.
  • 我 帮 了 他，他 反而 不 高兴 了。The speaker thought the other person would be happy. I helped him, but he wasn't happy.
