Comparing "tongguo" and “jingguo"

Revision as of 05:47, 22 February 2013 by Guomubai (talk | contribs)


One of the trickier points of Chinese grammar is how to use 通过 and 经过 correctly. Though they have very similar meanings, they have somewhat different uses

通过 as a Verb

Structure 1

The first way that 通过 is used as a verb is that it means going through a certain object, as in penetrating into and coming out of something. In this case, it is similar to the word 穿过.

Subject + 通过 + Object

Examples

  • 从 我 家 走 到 这里 需要 通过 两 座 桥。
  • 你 往 前 走,通过 一 扇 红 色 的 门,然后 左 拐 就 看到 了。
