Several years ago when I found this channel, I wished Grace would be my Chinese tutor. But now, I know that I'm not special. I'm one of the hundreds, if not thousands of Chinese learners who have been deeply helped by Grace's videos. I'll support Grace in whatever ways I can so she can keep making these videos, so she can inspire a lot more Chinese learners around the world. Way to go Grace!!
So glad to hear that the timing of this video was perfect for you! 😊 As for your question, I currently don't have a video specifically about how to use 弄, but that's a great idea. I'll definitely consider making one in the future. :)
I love how you use two different character styles for the same character. Often I use the same character and then I don't even recognize it in a different style. Wǒ juédé nǐ de diànshì jiémù/视频 hěn bàng.

Hey Grace! Great video! I wanted to let you know about a clarity point for your English explanation. When you said "what she actually meant" I would suggest saying "what she actually said" instead because what she meant means the same thing as what was in her mind.

For question 3 is it possible to consider both answers as potentially correct? The 在上 meaning they are currently studying (as in "I'm in the library with a book and studying right now") whereas the 上着 meaning they are currently in the more general state of studying as part of a general activity in their life (as in "I am currently being a student at Grace University")?
Interesting. If something in English ends in -ing, I'm thinking one of two things. It's either a participle or a gerund. The part of me that unfortunately thinks of language study as a search for master decoder rings is tempted to cut to the chase and ask, ok, between 在 (zài) and 著/着 (zhe), which is the participle and which is the gerund, or are "participle" and "gerund" inherently Indo-European grammatical concepts that simply don't map to other language groups?

How about describing sports, a team/someone is winning or losing but the game/event isn't over yet. 這球隊贏著， like that? 如果妳觀眾有興趣的話，可以拍個關於運動的應片。Can even make it a badminton theme with sentences like 這位選手的backhand相當高手！！I remember watching a basketball game in Taiwan and 相當 was used so often. I always have to use a mix of English when talking about sports. Help me Grace, you're my only hope! Haha, but maybe I can figure it out if I watch sport content in Chinese...
Thank you for your videos. I am studying Mandarin. I work in Chinatown Houston Texas. I have a question please. The word for "happy". This will be hard to explain. When I say for example: Happy New Year. For "happy" I will say (Qu-eye) (lu)....but sometimes I hear people say it back to me it sounds like (Qu-ah) (lu) or sometimes the (lu) sounds like (la). Is (Qu-eye) vs (Qu-ah) just a matter of different regions in China?
I have been trying to learn Mandarin for a number of years now (but am not fluent yet; mostly self taught, with help). The way you spell happy in Pinyin is "快乐 kuai-le" (pronounced "kwai-le). The way to say Happy New Year (referring to the universal new year is "新年快乐 Xin nian, kuai-le!" (pronounced "shin-nian, kwai-le) However, if you want to say Happy New Year in reference to the Chinese New Year, you say "春节快乐 Chun-jie, kuai-le!" Hope this helps.
Normally in English, if painting is on the wall, I would not use the ING form. I would just say a painting hangs on the wall. But if it's an action, and the focus is that painting, then I would make it more active and use the ING form. But here it doesn't seem like it's active and yet we're using ING form. Sorry to pick it apart but I always get confused by details that are not logical to my understanding. If you would like to clarify, that would be feichang hao :)

I always come here when I read something I didn't understand :) The skits are really helpful with giving context to what you're trying to explain.
在 is a problem for learners - at least it is a problem for me!
But my teachers never explained it this way - it is much clearer now. Thank you.
Oh my gosh, this is so helpful! Thank you, Grace. I wish this video had existed 10 years ago when I was studying Chinese. You have a new subscriber.
your mini video examples are so entertaining and helps you ingrain the grammar points in your mind easily! :D You're the best!

Yes
Yep, V+ing as a predicte has two alternative implications - on-going action or state at the moment.
So Chinese is a bit more precise.
Yes precise using ta for everything and shi for everything else.lol

Your question is perfect.
It just wouldnt rise. It rises because the video mixes things up, bad teaching 🤷
Hi Grace, what a great video as always! Still waiting for your written Mandarin video, though😊😊
Every time I watch one of your videos I learn so much! I also get the added bonus of impressing my Preply tutor with new vocabulary and grammar!

I'm wondering whether 在 and 著 can be used in one sentence at the same time?🤔
当她睡觉的时候我还在看著书。I was reading a book while she was sleeping.
在can also be "at". 著can be optional. For example: 我在圖書館看Grace的影片.她有一雙大大的眼晴.
Grace最近早晚溫差很大.身體要照顧好
我剛剛出去跑步的時候感受到了😂 超級冷

1A 2B 3A 4B 5A
漏了个字哦：正
大部分时候“正”可以和“在”互换，甚至经常连用作“正在”
“在/正”必须有明确的行为执行体（口语表达中有时会省略，但不代表没有），或者说必须有个东西去执行那个动作，而不能单纯表示状态
至于书面和口语，两者不会在此处有所区分，毕竟表达的内容不同，只取决于具体语境
如果你觉得“在”字在书面语中少见，恐怕还是因为被“正”字分掉了不少份额
后面的习题也值得商榷
第一题，两者皆有可能成立，取决于上下文
比如：
问曰：“你妈妈在干嘛？”
答曰：“我妈妈现在煮着饭呢”
这种表达是成立的
