时间 ：10 :00 a.m. 日期 ： 13/05/2018  星期日 大家好！晚上好！ 今天，I will be sharing about my finding about some of the particle is commonly used. 1 . ma 吗 This is used when asked question.For example , 你好吗？ni hao ma / 可以进来吗？keyi jinlai ma . This is to be used when the question is binary yes/no question.In sentence , it is put at the end of sentence to indicate question for someone. 2 . ne 呢 This particle also used for question and be put at the end of sentence.For example , A : 你好吗？Ni hao ma? B : 我很好。你呢？wo hen hao.ni ne? A : 我也很好。wo ye hen hao. It is used to ask the same question as what the asker asked.Like a bounce back question. 3 . de 的 One of the usage of de is to indicate possessiveness to thing.For example , my friend 我的朋友 Mei Mei's mother 妹妹的妈妈 father's book fuqin de shu 父亲的书 de can also be used for adejctive.Example , crying sadly shangxin de ku 伤心的哭 pretty girl piaoliang de nuhai 漂亮的 女孩 I think this is all for now.再见！
