Expressing "before" in general with "yiqian"
Revision as of 05:47, 22 November 2011 by Jonathan.pope (talk | contribs)
To talk about things in the past "in general", you can use the word 以前 (yǐqián). The structure is:
以前 + Subject + Verb + Object
You can use this structure to talk about actions that happened at some unspecified time in the past.
Some examples:
- 以前，我 不 会 中文。
- 以前，我 不 喝 啤酒。
- 以前，我 不 高兴。
