Find the Time/Place Words
Time and place expressions usually come before the verb and often near the beginning of the sentence.
Spot the Connectors
Paired connectors (虽然…但是, 不但…而且) tell you which clauses go together and in what order.
Identify Topic & Subject
Chinese sentences often start with a topic or subject, but subjects can be omitted. Look for who/what the sentence is about.
Check 把/被/比 Position
These structural markers have fixed positions: 把 goes before the object, 被 before the agent, 比 between the two compared items.
作业 被 他 做完了。
Word Order Quick Reference / 语序速查
The standard Chinese sentence follows this order. Not every sentence uses all slots — but elements that do appear follow this sequence:
| Position | Element | Example |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Time | 昨天 |
| 2 | Subject | 我 |
| 3 | Adverb | 已经 |
| 4 | Preposition phrase | 在图书馆 / 把书 / 跟朋友 |
| 5 | Verb | 看完 |
| 6 | Complement | 得很好 / 了两个小时 |
| 7 | Object | 那本书 |
| 8 | 了/过/着 | 了 |
This is a simplified overview — real Chinese sentences don't always use all positions, and some rules interact: (1) When 把 is used, the object moves before the verb. (2) When a verb has both an object and a degree complement (得…), the verb must be repeated: 他说中文说得很好. (3) 了 can appear right after the verb (completed action) or at the end of the sentence (changed state). For detailed rules, see our Grammar Guide.
