By itself, the word \u4e0d (b\u00f9) means \u201cnot\u201d or \u201cno\u201d, so this structure is often used to confirm if a fact is true or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example\uff1a<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"custom_example_style\">\u4f60<strong><u>\u662f\u4e0d\u662f<\/u><\/strong>\u533b\u751f\uff1f(N\u01d0 sh\u00ecb\u00fash\u00ec y\u012bsh\u0113ng?)<br>Are you a doctor or not?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"custom_example_style\">\u5c0f\u660e<strong><u>\u5403\u4e0d\u5403<\/u><\/strong>\u9999\u8549\uff1f(Xi\u01ceom\u00edng ch\u012bb\u00f9ch\u012b xi\u0101ngji\u0101o?)<br>Does Xiaoming eat bananas or not?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"custom_example_style\">\u5988\u5988<strong><u>\u770b\u4e0d\u770b<\/u><\/strong>\u7535\u89c6\uff1f(M\u0101ma k\u00e0nb\u00fak\u00e0n di\u00e0nsh\u00ec?)<br>Does mon watch TV or not?<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"6-using-%25e6%2598%25af%25e8%25bf%2598%25e6%2598%25af-to-form-selective-questions\">6.

Mastering these particles and <a href=index-26.html>sentence structures <\/a>will be indispensable when it comes to navigating a tonal language that approaches questions in a very different way than English. When it comes time to put these skills into practice, don\u2019t shy away from asking others about their lives, opinions, and preferences. Embrace your curiosity and see where the conversation takes you; you may just learn something new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019d like to take your learning even further, be sure to check out our <a href=index-112.html>other HSK-related grammar tutorials<\/a>.
