语法

The set of structural rules governing the composition of clauses, phrases, and words in a language. Mandarin Chinese grammar differs significantly from Indo-European languages: it has no verb conjugation, no grammatical gender, no articles, and relies heavily on context and word order. Tones (声调) are a critical feature of Mandarin phonology. Chinese grammar study is essential for the growing number of global Mandarin learners.

“汉语语法没有动词变位，词序是区别句子成分的主要手段。”

In English: “Chinese grammar has no verb conjugation; word order is the primary means of distinguishing sentence components.”
