Self-Study Guide to Basic Chinese Grammar

The self-study guide is designed for independent mastery of the material and may be useful for anyone who has already started or plans to start learning the Chinese language. It includes three chapters. The first chapter contains questions about the basic grammar of the Chinese language, with explanations of general grammar rules and exceptions, using diagrams as formulas for the placement of sentence members in Chinese sentences for clarity. The second chapter presents the author's methodology for grammatical analysis of the Chinese sentence based on a basic table of elements of a typical Chinese sentence, with one hundred examples of translated Chinese sentences with explanations. The third chapter, based on the same basic table, shows the algorithm for grammatical analysis of Russian sentences for subsequent translation into Chinese, with one hundred examples of translated Russian sentences with explanations. There are tasks for independent work on translation. The material is presented in a simple and understandable form.
