Grammar
Phrase structure : verb 的 noum
When used attributively, a verb or a verbal construction must take after it the structural particle 的.
Example:
- 休息 的 时候 resting time (to rest + time)
- 吃饭 的 时候 eating time (to eat + time)
Two : 二 and 两
Both 二 and 两 mean "two". When "two" comes before a measure word, 两 is used instead of 二.
Example:
- 两点 two o'clock
- 两分钟 two minutes
- 两个人 two people
