So, if I want to say, "I brought the tea," is any of the following more correct than another? Does it make a difference which one I use?
我带来茶了. 我带来了茶. 我带茶来了. 谢谢你帮我 1 person has voted this message useful | |

They sound natural in different situations...
我带来茶了 - Use this if you are only wanting to say that you brought tea in the sentence. 我带来了茶 - Use this for a list. Example: 我帶來了茶，餅乾，還有小蛋糕。Think of this as: 我帶來 了... + list of items. Edit: Sorry I use traditional characters, you can google translate them into simplified. Edited by Kevin Hsu on 28 January 2012 at 5:43am 2 persons have voted this message useful | |
