量词 Measure words

P3–P4

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: Choosing the right measure word: 本 for books, 辆 for vehicles, 只 for most animals, 条 for fish, 双 for pairs, 座 for buildings and hills, 群 for groups, and more.

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.
