问一问 Asking questions

P1–P2

Six short exercises in building Chinese sentences: put words in order, fill in the missing word, correct a wrong sentence, make a sentence longer, then write your own. Every practice run picks fresh questions. Tap any word for its pinyin and meaning.

This set practises: Asking questions: 吗 and 呢 at the end, and the question words 什么, 谁, 哪里 and 几 (你叫什么名字?这是谁的铅笔?).

一、连词成句 Put the words in order

Tap the words in the order that makes a sentence. Tap a word in your sentence to take it back out. If you get stuck, 💡 shows what the sentence means.

二、完成句子 Fill in the blank

Read the whole sentence, then pick the word that fits the gap.

三、改病句 Correct the sentence

Each sentence has one mistake: a wrong word, a missing or extra word, or words in the wrong order. Pick the corrected sentence. Read the whole sentence aloud before you choose.

四、扩句 Make the sentence longer

A short sentence grows step by step: who, when, where, how. Before each step, say your own longer sentence out loud, then tap to see one way to do it.

五、造句 Make a sentence

Write your own sentence with each word, then compare with the examples. Your sentences stay on this device. Nothing is marked: read them aloud, or show a grown-up.

六、仿写 Write on the pattern

Read the model sentence and its pattern, then write your own sentence on the same pattern about something else. It stays on this device and is never marked. Then compare with the examples.

shéi zài mén kǒu děng nǐ

Who is waiting for you at the door?

nǐ xǐ huan chī píng guǒ ma

Do you like eating apples?

今天是星期几?

jīn tiān shì xīng qī jǐ

What day of the week is it today?

你在做什么?

nǐ zài zuò shén me

What are you doing?

这是谁的书包?

zhè shì shéi de shū bāo

Whose school bag is this?

你的妹妹几岁了?

nǐ de mèi mei jǐ suì le

How old is your little sister?

你今天开心吗?

nǐ jīn tiān kāi xīn ma

二、完成句子 Fill in the blank

这是谁的铅笔?

zhè shì shéi de qiān bǐ

Whose pencil is this?

💡 To ask whose something is, say 谁的 (who's): 谁的铅笔. 哪里 asks where, 几 asks how many.

你今年几岁了?

nǐ jīn nián jǐ suì le

How old are you this year?

💡 Age is a number, and 几 asks for a small number: 几岁 (how old).

妈妈去哪里了?

mā ma qù nǎ lǐ le

Where did Mum go?

💡 去 (to go) needs a place, so the question word is 哪里 (where).

你吃饭了吗?

nǐ chī fàn le ma

Have you eaten?

💡 The answer is yes or no, so the sentence ends with 吗. 呢 is for "and you?" after something has been said.

我喜欢画画,你呢?

wǒ xǐ huan huà huà nǐ ne

I like drawing. What about you?

💡 你呢 means "and you?": it asks the same thing back without saying it again.

谁在敲门?

shéi zài qiāo mén

Who is knocking at the door?

💡 To ask which person, use 谁 (who).

你的家在哪里?

nǐ de jiā zài nǎ lǐ

Where is your home?

💡 To ask about a place, use 哪里 (where).

桌子上有几个苹果?

zhuō zi shàng yǒu jǐ gè píng guǒ

How many apples are on the table?

💡 几 asks "how many" and comes before the measure word 个.

你想吃什么?

nǐ xiǎng chī shén me

What do you want to eat?

💡 To ask about a thing, use 什么 (what).

这本书好看吗?

zhè běn shū hǎo kàn ma

Is this book good?

💡 For a yes-or-no question, put 吗 at the end.

我是小华,你呢?

wǒ shì xiǎo huá nǐ ne

I'm Xiaohua. And you?

💡 To ask the same thing back ("and you?"), use 呢.

三、改病句 Correct the sentence

病句:你叫什么名字吗?

nǐ jiào shén me míng zi ma

What is your name? (with an extra 吗)

改正:你叫什么名字?

nǐ jiào shén me míng zi

What is your name?

💡 A question with 什么 is already a question, so it does not take 吗 at the end.

病句:你几岁吗?

nǐ jǐ suì ma

How old are you? (with an extra 吗)

改正:你几岁了?

nǐ jǐ suì le

How old are you?

💡 几 already asks the question, so 吗 is not needed: 你几岁了?

病句:这是谁书包?

zhè shì shéi shū bāo

Whose school bag is this? (missing 的)

改正:这是谁的书包?

zhè shì shéi de shū bāo

Whose school bag is this?

💡 "Whose" is 谁的: the 的 goes right after 谁.

病句:你去哪里吗?

nǐ qù nǎ lǐ ma

Where are you going? (with an extra 吗)

改正:你去哪里?

nǐ qù nǎ lǐ

Where are you going?

💡 哪里 is already a question word, so the question needs no 吗.

病句:你喜欢吃苹果什么?

nǐ xǐ huan chī píng guǒ shén me

Do you like eating apples? (什么 in the wrong place)

改正:你喜欢吃苹果吗?

nǐ xǐ huan chī píng guǒ ma

Do you like eating apples?

💡 This is a yes-or-no question, so it ends with 吗; 什么 asks "what" and does not fit here.

病句:你有几个人家?

nǐ yǒu jǐ gè rén jiā

How many people are in your family? (words out of order)

改正:你家有几个人?

nǐ jiā yǒu jǐ gè rén

How many people are in your family?

💡 The order is 你家 (your family) + 有 + 几个人 (how many people).

病句:我很好,你吗?

wǒ hěn hǎo nǐ ma

I'm fine. And you? (吗 instead of 呢)

改正:我很好,你呢?

wǒ hěn hǎo nǐ ne

I'm fine. And you?

💡 To ask the same thing back ("and you?"), use 呢, not 吗.

四、扩句 Make the sentence longer

I ask the teacher.

问什么?:我问老师一个问题。

wǒ wèn lǎo shī yí gè wèn tí
