Instead of saying "do not" with 不要 (bùyào), we can say "don't" a little more quickly and forcefully by using 别 (bié).![]() Structure: 别 + Verb (+ Obj.) Besides using 不要 (bùyào), negative commands can also be formed with 别 (bié). You could think of 别 (bié) as a contraction of 不要 (bùyào), as the structure is the same for both: Examples: 别走。(bié zǒu) = Don't leave. 别说话!(bié shuōhuà) = Don't speak! 别笑!(bié xiào) = Don't laugh! 别动!(bié dòng) = Don't move! 别过来!(bié guòlái) = Don't come over here! 别喝太多。(bié hē tài duō) = Don't drink too much. 喝酒以后别开车。(hējiǔ yǐhòu bié kāichē) = After drinking alcohol, don't drive. 吃饭的时候别玩手机。(chīfàn de shíhou bié wán shǒujī) = When eating, don't play with your cell phone. 上课的时候别说英文。(shàngkè de shíhou bié shuō Yīngwén) = Don't speak English in class. # Our teachers # More than 10 years teaching experience Master Degree Certificate for teaching chinese as a foreign language ![]() ![]() # About us # Founded in 2007 Chinese test and training center 200+ Chinese teachers 5000+ students ![]() # Contact us# Name:fiona Phone number:021-52287809,13918358891 E-mail:info@mandarinmorning.com www.mandarinmorning.com If you are interested to join Mandarin Morning school or want more details about our services, scan the following QR code. ☟ ![]() ![]() Mandarin Morning Chinese test center attached to Confucius institute headquarters Authorized Test Center and Training Center for International Chinese Language Teacher Certificater 10 years+ ,200 teachers ,more 10000 students,200+companies ![]() |
