Chinese Grammar is a concept that has been borrowed from Western languages, and in certain senses, Chinese grammar does not exist. The greatest truths are often the simplest, and this holds true for Chinese grammar as well. Simply put, Chinese grammar involves the construction of character sequences, similar to the way LEGO bricks are assembled. I refer to this approach as my "LEGOO Mandarin" method. However, in a more complex sense, Chinese grammar can be quite challenging. In this course, I will present the simplest truths in my own way, and by following my guidance, you will be able to quickly master Chinese grammar and also learn some reading skills that will prove useful in future exams. 

Understanding the basic sentence structure in Chinese is crucial for learning the language. Unlike English, Chinese sentences do not require the use of auxiliary verbs and are typically composed of subject, predicate, and object in that order. The subject usually comes at the beginning of the sentence, followed by the predicate and then the object. For example, "我喜欢中国菜" (wǒ xǐ huān zhōng guó cài) translates to "I like Chinese food" with the subject being "我" (wǒ) meaning "I," the predicate being "喜欢" (xǐ huān) meaning "like," and the object being "中国菜" (zhōng guó cài) meaning "Chinese food." Keep in mind that this is just the basic structure and there can be variations and exceptions depending on the sentence and context.

In the 2021 version of the HSK exam, there are 9 levels, ranging from HSK 1 to HSK 9. The new standards for international Chinese language education include a revised syllabus, which emphasizes the development of communication skills, cultural understanding, and practical application of the language. The HSK exam is widely recognized as a measure of Chinese language proficiency and passing it can enhance one's academic and career prospects.

HSK 4 is the fourth level of the test, and it is designed for learners who have a vocabulary of around 2,000 to 3000 Chinese words and a good understanding of basic grammar patterns. The HSK 4 test assesses the test-taker's ability to understand and use Chinese in various situations, such as everyday conversations, news reports, and academic discussions.
