Using "gen"
Revision as of 08:54, 17 November 2011 by Jonathan.pope (talk | contribs)
When using 跟 (gēn) as a preposition, it is used the same way "with" is in English. The other subject can be any kind of noun, but is usually associated with joint-action "with" another person. It is often used with 一起.
Here are some examples using this preposition:
- 昨天 晚上 我 跟 我 的 朋友 一起 吃 晚饭。
- 你 跟 原来 一样，没有 任何 进步！
- 你 跟 他 一起 喝 啤酒 吗？
- 你 去 跟 他 道 个 歉 吧。
