1.      汉语的语序  word order in Chinese

The main characteristic of Chinese grammar is that it lacks of morphological changes in person, tense, gender, number, and case in the strict sense. The word order, however, is very important to convey different grammatical meanings. The subject of the sentence is usually placed before the predicate.

E g.

Subject

Predicate

你 好。

今天 下雨。
