    Hello,actually you found a quite important and unique grammar in Chinese. In Chinese, we have a very special and unique kind of word, we call it "measure word", in Chinese: 量词。 When we describe the quantity of something in English, we just put the number in front of the noun: 1, a woman. 2, an apples. 3. a car But when we describe the quantity of something in Chinese, we put something more between the number and the noun: 1, yī wèi nǚ rén 2, yī gè píng guǒ 3, yī liàng qì chē You can see that, in Chinese, when we describe the quantity of a thing, we use this phrase: number+ measure word + noun. There are many different measure words, we choose it according to the noun. For example, 1, yī wèi nǚ rén: a woman. " wèi" is used before a person, especially someone respectable, like doctor, teacher, professor, leader..... 2, yī liàng qì chē: a car. "liàng" is used before a vehicle like car, bike, van, motorbike. 3, yī gè píng guǒ: an apple. "gè " is used before a thing, it's the most popular measure word in Chinese. At the beginning of Chinese study, you can use "gè" when you don't know which measure word you should use, and replace it with the more proper one when you learn or hear in the future. No worries, people can understand with "gè", when you use proper one, they will think you are gunies in Chinese. I hope it could be help for you. If you are satisfied with my answer, welcome to follow my italki. I'm a professional Chinese Teacher and used to teach Chinese to foreigners in the University, major in Teaching Chinese as a Second Language and have the certificate of International Chinese Teacher. I enjoy communicating with people online and plan to luanch Chines courses on italki this year. Please let me know if you are interested.

    “去 ” in “去成了” means go 。 “成 ” in ”去成了‘’ means “成功”,success。 "了 “ in “去成了” means finished doing something。 “verb+成了” means finished doing something and success doing it, accomplished the goal as planned. “去成了 ”means finished and success in going to somewhere, accomplished the goal as planned.

    感谢:1, as a noun, usually there's a phrase: "表示感谢"means show/express gratitude to someone, 感谢 is a noun in this phrase.
                e.g. 对你的帮助表示感谢。(I ) express my gratitude to you for your help.
                2, as a verb, usually used in phrase:"感谢+something/someone" 

                    basically we use it before a noun which/who is the object you thank to. 
                    e.g. 感谢你的邀请。 Thank you for your invitation.


    谢谢:1,can be used independently as a sentence.   e.g. 谢谢。 Thanks.
                2,as a verb, usually used in the phrase:"感谢+something/someone"  thank something/someone.


    谢谢了:1, It‘s not a word but a phrase which is often used in spoken language.
                    2, It can be used independently as a sentence in daily talk : "谢谢了" Thank (you).

    周末游行

    事实上目前纽约,乃至整个美国都上演着无数游行。随着政治条件的恶化,普通百姓开始反击,因此游行几乎每天都在上演。有些游行是事先准备的,有些是当时自发的。昨天我去了几周前计划好的同志游行,在一个著名流行的地标表达了我对同志组织的支持。我还在网上观看了在JFK机场当时自发的游行。虽然我不能参加所有抗议,但是看着邻居与同胞们反击的决心,我坚信我们必定打败那个“橘黄色的”!
