Expressing "then…" with "name"
Revision as of 08:00, 18 October 2011 by Gregory.mcandrews (talk | contribs)
When expressing "Then...", you can use "那么" (nàme) in order to begin a judgment or result from previous context. An example of this in English would be "Then, what should we do?"
Here's the basic structure:
Context + 那么 + Result
Here are some examples of 那么 being used in this way.
- 如果 很多 人 不 喜欢 这 个 看法，那么 ，跟 经理 讨论 吧。
- 啊，我们 的 公共 汽车 已经 离开 了，那么 ，我们 怎么 办?
- 我 的 文章 的 初稿 真 不 太 好，那么 ，我 怎么 修改 呢？
