Do you remember? 飞机 Airplane 机场 Airport 接 接 here means to pick up We've learned in HSK1 that a Chinese sentence can include two verbal phrases, and the latter one is the purpose of the former one. So, 接大卫 is the purpose of 去机场 我们明天早上几点去机场接大卫? What time shall we leave for the airport tomorrow morning? 七点 大卫的飞机早上八点到北京 七点 大卫的飞机早上八点到北京 到 means arrive 大卫的飞机早上八点到北京 David's flight will arrive in Beijing at 8 o'clock in the morning. 请问 李明和莉莉几点去机场接大卫? 七点 很好 Now let's listen to the dialogue again. 我们明天早上几点去机场接大卫? 七点 大卫的飞机早上八点到北京 现在我们看第二个片段 Please look at the second clip. 我们已经到了,你们出来了吗? 你穿着红色的衣服,是不是? 是的 喂,莉莉,你们到机场了吗? To ask, did somebody arrive at or in some place? We can say, 我们可以说,somebody 到 some place 了吗? 比如,for example, 你到家了吗? 我儿子到学校了吗? 王医生到医院了吗? 我们已经到了,你们出来了吗? 已经 means already. It's usually used after the subject and before the predicate to indicate that an action was completed or something reached a certain degree. The structure is subject plus 已经 plus predicate plus 了 我已经回家了。 I went home already. 张老师已经来了。 Teacher Zhang came already. 马丁已经三十岁了。 Martin is 30 years old already. 你们出来了吗? Did you come out? 出 means to come or go out. 出来 means come out. Go out, we say 出去。 我们已经出来了。 We came out already. 我看见你了。 你穿着红色的衣服,是不是? 我看见你了。 你穿着红色的衣服,是不是? 是不是 literally means yes or no. If we remove 是不是 from this question, then it will become a statement. 你穿着红色的衣服。 You are wearing a red dress. 穿 means to wear. 红色 means red. 红色的衣服,a red dress. 遮 is a particle, which is usually used after a verb to indicate the continuation of a certain state. 例如,穿 to wear 穿着 wearing 我穿着红色的衣服。 I'm wearing a red dress. 看 to look 看着 looking 老师看着小明。 The teacher is looking at Xiaoming. 坐 to sit 坐着 sitting 妈妈坐着. Mom is sitting. The negative form of verb plus 遮 is adding a 没 before the verb. 例如,我没穿着红色的衣服。 I'm not wearing a red dress. 老师没看着小明。 The teacher is not looking at Xiaoming. 妈妈没坐着。 Mom is not sitting. In HSK1 courses, we learned how to change a statement into a question. Do you remember? 你记得吗? We can add the particle 吗 at the end of a sentence to turn a statement into a question. However, if the sentence is negated by 没, you can also use 没有 at the end of a sentence to change it into a question. 例如,她穿着红色的衣服没有? Is she wearing a red dress? 老师看着小明没有? Is the teacher looking at Xiaoming? 电视开着没有? Is the TV on? Note that if you are not sure about something, but you are somehow certain about it, then you can use 是不是 to ask for confirmation. It usually comes after the subject or at the beginning or end of a sentence. 例如, to ask for confirmation about something. 你是不是穿着红色的衣服? 你穿着红色的衣服是不是? Are you wearing a red dress? 你是不是穿着红色的衣服? 你穿着红色的衣服是不是? 儿子是不是去学校了? 儿子去学校了是不是? Did my son go to school? 儿子是不是去学校了? 儿子去学校了是不是? To ask for confirmation about somebody. 是不是大卫在打电话? Is David on the phone? 是不是大卫在打电话? 是不是爸爸回来了? Is Daddy coming back? 是不是爸爸回来了? 你穿着红色的衣服是不是? Are you wearing a red dress? 是的。 Yes, I am. Let's listen to the dialogue again. 喂,莉莉,你们到机场了吗? 我们已经到了,你们出来了吗? 我们已经出来了。 哦,我看见你了,你穿着红色的衣服是不是? 是的。 现在我们看最后一个片段。 Let's watch the last clip. 我给你们介绍一下, 这是我的妻子珍妮,我的孩子麦克和安娜。 珍妮,这是我的好朋友莉莉,这是她的丈夫李明。 李明,莉莉,你们好,很高兴认识你们。 你好,珍妮,欢迎你来中国。 跟我读。 我给你们介绍一下。 这是我的妻子珍妮。 我的孩子麦克和安娜。 珍妮,这是我的好朋友莉莉。 这是她的丈夫李明。 李明,莉莉,你们好。 很高兴认识你们。 你好,珍妮,欢迎你来中国。 我给你们介绍一下。 给 is a preposition, means to, for. 介绍 means to introduce. 介绍一下。 以下 is always used after a verb to indicate a brief action. It can also soften the tone. So, to sound more polite, you can use the structure verb plus 以下。 例如,安娜,请你读一下这个句子。 安娜,请你读一下这个句子。 请等一下我。 我们休息一下。 这是我的妻子珍妮,我的孩子迈克和安娜。 这是我的妻子珍妮, 我的孩子迈克和安娜。 妻子 means wife. 这是我的妻子珍妮。 This is my wife, Jenny. 孩子 means child. 我的孩子迈克和安娜。 These are my children, Mike and Anna. 大卫给莉莉和李宁介绍了他的妻子和孩子。 Then, 大卫给珍妮介绍了李宁和莉莉。 珍妮,这是我的好朋友莉莉。 这是她的丈夫李宁。 珍妮,这是我的好朋友莉莉。 这是她的丈夫李宁。 丈夫 means husband. 现在我们知道大卫是珍妮的丈夫。 大卫是珍妮的丈夫。 珍妮是大卫的妻子。 迈克和安娜是大卫的孩子。 莉莉是李宁的妻子。 李宁是莉莉的丈夫。 现在他们认识了。 珍妮说, 李宁,莉莉,你们好,很高兴认识你们。 莉莉说, 你好,珍妮,欢迎你来中国。 欢迎 means welcome. 欢迎你来中国。 Welcome to China. 欢迎你来美国。 Welcome to the USA. 欢迎你来我家。 Welcome to my home. Now let's listen to the dialogue again. 珍妮,这是我的好朋友莉莉,这是她的丈夫李宁。 李宁,莉莉,你们好,很高兴认识你们。 你好,珍妮,欢迎你来中国。 很好,现在我们复习一下生词。 Let's review the new words that we learned today. 早上 机场 街 到 已经 出 穿 遮 红色 介绍 以下 妻子 孩子 丈夫 欢迎 Next, let's do some phonetics exercise. You will say some sentences with pinyin, please read aloud. Then repeat after me to check if you read them correctly. 回中国 我和妻子想去机场接他们。 儿子说他们已经坐出租车回来了。 很好,现在我们来试试这堂课的关键字。 我们已经到了。 已经 indicates that an action was completed or something reached a certain degree. 你穿着红色的衣服是不是? 遮 indicates the continuation of a certain state. 是不是 is used to ask for confirmation. 我给你们介绍一下。 Verb plus 以下 expresses a brief action. 欢迎光临 In China, you can hear this phrase in many public places. For example, when you arrive at a restaurant or shop, the host or hostess will greet you at the door by saying 欢迎光临。 It means welcome to our place. For example, 欢迎光临,请问您需要点什么? 我就随便看看。 欢迎光临,请问您需要点什么? 我就随便看看。 欢迎光临,请问您一共几位? 三位。 欢迎光临,请问您一共几位? 三位。 老公 and 老婆 husband and wife 丈夫 and 妻子 also mean husband and wife. But these two words are a little bit formal, and they are usually used in written Chinese. In spoken Chinese, we usually use 老公 and 老婆 to express husband and wife. What's more, 老公 and 老婆 can also be used to address one's own partner. For example, 那个人是谁呀? 那是海伦的老公。 她老公每天都会来接她下班。 那个人是谁呀? 那是海伦的老公。 她老公每天都会来接她下班。 小萌,你的饭是谁做的? 就是我老婆做的。 小萌,你的饭是谁做的? 就是我老婆做的。 老公,你想喝什么? 我想喝茶。 老公,你想喝什么? 我想喝茶。 好了,今天的课就上到这里。 That's all for today's lesson. 现在大卫和珍妮到中国了。 他们需要找房子。 They need to find an apartment. 下节课 Next lesson.
