My Chinese learning diary - day 6

I'm trying to learn to use 了 and 很 correctly to express past events.


I went to church today.
今天我去了教会 ok but can also mean church meeting.  教堂 is the physical place.  It would be clearer if you say 今天我去教堂祈祷了
jīntiān wǒ qù le jiàohuì。


The weather was cold.
天气很冷了。
tiānqì hěn lěng。


I wore my cardigan.
我 穿了我的[not necessary]羊毛衫。
wǒ chuān le wǒ de yángmáoshān。


Thank you very much to everyone who has helped me with this this week.

My Chinese learning diary - day 6

I'm trying to learn to use 了 and 很 correctly to express past events.


I went to church today.
今天我去了教会 (教堂)(jiào táng)
jīntiān wǒ qù le jiàohuì。

notice:

“ 去 ”表示 去哪儿 这个行为一般表示是你的行为是可以刚发生或已经发生了,比如  我去教堂, 这话可以表明你现在要前往教堂的路上,也可以表明你已经到教堂了,到时候这个“去”要跟“到”区分哦

=“去”is means where to go . it use of you action was underway or already underway. for example: 我 去教堂, 

dào)  to distinguish in later time
 

The weather was cold.
天气很冷。
tiānqì hěn lěng。


 

I wore my cardigan.
我 穿了我的羊毛衫。 

 in Chinese , you use your own or the action is yourself to yourself , where you can't translated The Word

=for example . I used my pen 我用(我的)钢笔,


wǒ chuān le wǒ de yáng máo shān

In Taiwan, we say 去教会, meaning going to a church for praying (for a Christian); and we say 去教堂, meaning going to a church for other purposes.

The meaning of the word 很 is "very." As a beginner of English learning, I literally translated 今天天氣很冷 into "The weather is very cold today." But I have known that it isn't necessary. When it isn't confusing, we just say 我穿了羊毛衫. But, as a beginner, you can say that as your way. Your today's work is pretty good. There is nothing wrong in your translation. I just try to explain something, something different between English and Chinese.
