The use of transitive and intransitive verbs in Chinese grammar is introduced in this chapter. In particular, separable verbs (e.g., verb-object compounds), as a unique Chinese construction, are described in detail. In addition, special attention is paid to the expression of the temporal features of activities by suffixing the verbal aspects 了 le, 着 zhe, 过 guo, or the pre-verbal progressive marker 在 zài. Lastly, this chapter introduces the reduplication of verbs denoting tentativeness or the short duration of the action.
