3月11号: 学习中文：时间线 游戏(yóuxì=game)=Telephone 课本：练习 p. 156-158 学习生词：时间 问问题：“时间线” 功课:Vocab Quiz, Character Sheet, Skritter

Time Expressions Time=时间=shí jiān 我们学习了什么”时间”的生词？ Brainstorm!

Time Expressions 下个星期 (xià ge xīngqī, next week) literally means “the week below.” By the same token, 上个星期 (shàng ge xīngqī, last week) literally means “the week above.”

The measure word 个 can be omitted: 下个星期=下 星期; 上个星期=上星期.

“Last/next month” is 上个月/下个月(shàng ge yuè/xià ge yuè) “Last/next month” is 上个月/下个月(shàng ge yuè/xià ge yuè). However, we don’t say *上月/下月.

To help you remember, envision a calendar. Next week/month is below (下, xià) this week/ month; last week/month is above (上, shàng) this week/month.

Time Expressions Involving Month and Week 上上个月 shàng shàng ge yuè the month before last 上上(个)星期s hàng shàng (ge) xīngqī the week before last 上个月 shàng ge yuè last month 上(个)星期 shàng (ge) xīngqī last week 这个月 zhè ge yuè this month 这(个)星期 zhè (ge) xīngqī this week 下个月 xià ge yuè next month 下(个)星期 xià (ge) xīngqī next week 下下个月 xià xià ge yuè the month after next 下下(个)星期 xià xià (ge) xīngqī the week after next

The above expressions with 月 (yuè, month) and 星期 (xīngqī, week) form two parallel series.

“One week” is 一个星期 (yí ge xīngqī) “One week later” is 一个星期以后 (yí ge xīngqī yǐhòu). “One month” is 一个月(yí ge yuè), not 一月(yīyuè, January). “One month later” is 一个月以后 (yí ge yuè yǐhòu).

Additional Time Expressions Involving Year and Day 大前天dàqiántiān three days ago 大前年dàqiánnián three years ago 前天qiántiān the day before yesterday 前年qiánnián the year before last 昨天zuótiān yesterday 去年qùnián last year 今天jīntiān today 今年jīnnián this year 明天míngtiān tomorrow 明年míngnián next year 后天hòutiān the day after tomorrow 后年hòunián the year after next 大后天dàhòutiān three days from today 大后年dàhòunián three years from now

The above expressions with 天 (tiān, day) and 年 (nián, year) form two parallel series …. EXCEPT FOR 昨天 (zuótiān, yesterday) and 去年 (qùnián, last year).

Directional Complements “Complement” is a word after a verb that describes it

Directional Complements 来/去 (lái/qù, to come/go) can serve as a directional complement after such verbs as 进 (jìn, to enter) and 回 (huí, to return). 来 (lái, to come) signifies movement toward the speaker 去 (qù, to go) signifies movement away from the speaker.

A is at home, speaking on the phone to B, who is away from home. A: Nǐ shénme shíhou huí lai? 你什么时候回来？ When are you coming back? B: Wǒ liù diǎn huí qu. 我六点回去。 I’m going back at six.
