Learning Basic HSK Chinese Grammar
When taking HSK, Chinese grammar plays a very important role. Actually, Chinese grammar is very simple and straightforward. Chinese grammar has no tenses and each verb has only one form. No matter what noun or pronoun you use, the form of the verb remains the same.



HSK grammar 1:
To form a plural, just add a character (们, men) after the subject.

For example,

I learn Chinese - 我学中文

We learn Chinese - 我们学 中文



HSK grammar 1:
To talk about the past and the future, just add extra characters ( 了, le）after the verb).

For example:

I go to school - 我去学校

I went to school yesterday - 我昨天去了学校



With simply adding characters for plurals, past and future tense, there's no need to learn about HSK conjugating verbs, let alone irregular ones.


When learning HSK grammar, there's also no worry about adjective changes for comparative or superlative and no verb-to-noun change with suffix.


Additional characters will have to be used to express all those concepts.

For example:

small - 小的

smaller - 较小的



The HSK Chinese grammatical structure of a sentence is roughly the same as other languages. Since there are so many things in common, concentrate and focus your attention to the differences that give you the most surprises.
