Chinese Sentence Patterns

句子根据内部结构可分为单句和复句。单句是短语或词充当的、有特定的语调、能独立表达一定的意思的语言单位。复句由两个或两个以上意义相关，结构上互不作句子成分的分句组成。 复句中的各个分句之间一般有停顿，书面上用逗号，分号或冒号表示；复句前后有隔离性语音停顿，书面上用句号或问号，叹号表示。

Sentences can be divided into single sentences and complex sentences according to their internal structure. A single sentence is a linguistic unit that is acted as a phrase or word, has a specific intonation, and can independently express a certain meaning. A complex sentence is composed of two or more clauses that are related in meaning and do not constitute each other in terms of structure. There is usually a pause between each clause in a compound sentence, which is indicated by a comma, semicolon or colon in writing; there are isolated phonetic pauses before and after the compound sentence, which is indicated by a period, question mark, or exclamation mark in writing.

句型一般指单句句型。Sentence patterns generally refer to single sentence patterns.

句型是根据句子的结构（句法成分的配置格局）对不同的单句进行分类，从而划分出的类型。Sentence pattern is the classification of different single sentences according to the structure of the sentence (the configuration pattern of the syntactic components), and thus the types are divided.

句型分为主谓句和非主谓句两大类：

• 主谓句又分为三小类：动词谓语句，形容词谓语句，名词谓语句。（注意，网络上有些资料把“主谓谓语句”归为“句型”类，为了避免网友疑惑，特此说明，在最新版本的《现代汉语》（黄伯荣）中，主谓谓语句被移除出了“句型”类，划分到了“句式”类）
• 非主谓句又分为五小类：动词性非主谓句，形容词性非主谓句，名词性非主谓句，叹词句，拟声词句。

添加时间和地点的直接规则

在汉语中，某事发生、正在发生或将要发生的时间出现在句首或紧接主语之后。

Straightforward rules for adding time and place

In Chinese, the time at which something happened, is happening, or will happen appears at the beginning of the sentence or immediately following the subject.
