In a Chinese sentence, the subject is often placed in front of the
predicate The adjective can directly serve as a predicate, but
generally it is preceded by an adverb denoting degree negation,
or by "48" which is only used as a grammatical sign
sentence can be changed into an interrogative sentence by say-
ing in an interrogative mood or by adding the modal particle
"12" at the end of it What's more, a question can also be made
by using the interrogative pronoun, such as "A #*", asking for
the situation
@ WF Example :
The adverb "t2" is often used before the predicate It indicates a
feature or situation is the same as that mentioned before, or the
