...I've never, ever heard 'de' used that way. Odd.
On a second reading some of those sentences [with the de] seem OK, but others just sound weird. About the time references, they just didn't seem precise or something...the offered sentences don't correspond with the english you're supposed to translate from. The time references do clarify but normally the context would indicate it, and it doesn't sound weird to omit them. I'm a heritage learner though, so I have basically zero grammatical ability. Well, you're probably the same way since you say your speaking ability is much better than your reading ability. I feel out of my depth now, so let's get someone who speaks Chinese perfectly fluently. Good luck with learning! 1 person has voted this message useful |
