Chinese grammar: Past experience

过 /guò/ TO PASS

过 /guo/ particle for experience in the past

_THIS IS A TESTING BETA VERSION OF THE SITE_

You know that when we want to emphasize that some action is finished, we use 了 /le/ – like in the sentence: I BOUGHT A NEW CAR, COME AND HAVE A LOOK!

However sometimes we need to say that we know what it’s like to buy a car, because we have the experience – we went through the process

To express our experience, we put 过 /guo/ right behind the verb

To say that we haven’t been through something, we use 没 (有) /méi (yǒu)/

过 /guo/ remains in the negative form

Mostly we ask question using the module 有没有 /yǒu-meiyou/

过 /guo/ remains in the question

We can create questions using 吗 /ma/ as well
