Foreigners often make some strange mistakes in Chinese when they study the most difficult language— —Chinese. We try to analyze typical sentences to correct these errors.
Míngtiān wǎnshàng nǐ qù lǎoshī nà'ér ma?
False: 明天晚上你去老师吗?
Míngtiān wǎnshàng nǐ qù lǎoshī nà'ér ma?
True: 明天晚上你去老师那儿吗?
动词“去” 宾语应是表示处所的词语,“老师”是指人的名词。要在“老师”后加上“这儿”或“那儿”变为处所词语。由于动作“去”是从所在的地方往远处走,只能用“那儿”。
The object of the verb 去 ought to be a word of locality. 朋友 is a personal noun, but it becomes a phrase of locality with 这儿 or 那儿 added to it. Since 去 represents an action in direction of somewhere further away from the speaker, it requires 那儿 as the head word of its object.
