The Accurate Use of Chinese: Practical Sentence Structures and Word

may be English. This is done through comparisons of selected

languages. Grammar topics in English serve as the comparison points
from which learners can gain a deeper understanding of the
comparable, but differing structures in Chinese. The book's
