Chinese Aspectual Particle le: A Comprehensive Guide

Synopsis:Among all Chinese aspectual particles, le (了) is the most frequently used and is notoriously elusive for non-native speakers to grasp. This book presents a systematic analysis of le and includes detailed illustrations of its usage. By comparing Chinese grammar with that of English whenever relevant, the book makes the usage of le more assessible to English speakers. It also contains a plethora of illustrative sentences, a wide range of vocabulary, and abundant cultural information.
