... 正在 ... 呢. ... 正 ... 呢. ... 在 ... 呢. ...正在 ... ... 正 ... ... 在 ... ... 呢. Example sentence: 学生正在上课呢。 Can that sentence be changed to any of the other forms? If not, what are the differences? In Mandarin Chinese, is there any difference in these sentences or are they the same? I know ne and zai have alternate meanings but I'm referring to them in the context of this sentence.

have no experience in Chinese whatsoever and want to begin to learn Mandarin. What would be a good strategy and technique to reach fluency? I am not afraid to make my study intensive. Thank you for all of your help.

So since I am Chinese and so are my parents, I want to take mandarin Chinese. I am 14 so this is embarrassing. But I do know 3 other languages, fuzhou dialect from birth, English from school and stuff, and Spanish for 2 years. Mandarin vocab is easy but what I can’t seem to get is recognizing the tones and remembering tones for words. This is the hardest part for me aside from the characters and some English words have more than 1 Chinese counterpart for definition. So how can I recognize tones and remember tones easier for words! xie4 xie ni2

I've been learning about past tense on Rosetta Stone, and I noticed that the character "了" sometimes comes right after the verb, and sometimes completely at the end of the sentence. Is there a general rule in Chinese grammar on when to put it with the verb, and when to put it at the end?
