Practical, Comprehensive, and Free!
Resources for Chinese grammar have been scattered, incomprehensible, and hidden behind paywalls for way too long. Wikipedia has shown us a better way, and we are working hard to make Chinese grammar learner-friendly and accessible to all. We've already got 2,125 articles online, and we're growing! If you'd like to contribute, please get in touch.

Need Pinyin?
We've designed this resource to work well with popular browser plugins for reading Chinese characters:

\r\n

Get Started

New to learning Chinese? Head over to our Learner FAQ.\r\nHere are some of the "big topics" visited and revisited by learners:\r\n* How to use 了 (le)

Word Order
Complements
Separable verbs
The 是……的 (shi... de) Construction
把 (ba) Sentences
被 (bei) Sentences
The particle 着 (zhe)\r\nThe Chinese Grammar Wiki likes to break things down by difficulty level. Here is just a small selection of articles from the first four levels which you might like to read up on:\r\n* Beginner (Level A1)
Elementary (Level A2)
Intermediate (Level B1)
Upper Intermediate (Level B2)

Referenced Throughout

To create this grammar wiki, AllSet Learning and its editor partners have made extensive use of various high-quality Chinese grammar reference materials. We strongly recommend them to any serious student of Chinese grammar. Purchasing these books by clicking on the grammar references linked within this website will also help to support this project.\r\nSome of the key reference materials for this wiki have been:\r\n
