Time Words and Word Order
时间词语序
How it works
In Chinese, time words usually come before the verb. They often appear after the subject.
Basic order: Subject + Time + Verb + Object
Example sentences
我今天上课。
I have class today.
他明天去北京。
He will go to Beijing tomorrow.
我们晚上吃中国菜。
We eat Chinese food tonight.
Usage note
Time words in Chinese are usually much earlier in the sentence than in English.
