under construction
In Chinese grammar, the word "将" (jiāng) is used to introduce the agent (施事) and the patient (受事) in a sentence, effectively indicating the action being performed and the object receiving the action. This structure is particularly useful for emphasizing the action and its impact on the object.
The basic structure of a sentence using "将" is as follows:
For example:
1. 父母将他送到中国留学。
(Fùmǔ jiāng tā sòng dào Zhōngguó liúxué.)
Translation: "The parents sent him to study in China."
Here, "父母" (parents) is the agent performing the action, "他" (him) is the patient receiving the action, and "送" (send) is the verb.
Using "将" helps clarify the roles of different elements in a sentence, making it easier for the listener or reader to understand who is doing what. This construction is commonly used in both spoken and written Chinese, particularly in formal contexts.
