Do you find English grammar difficult? Is it so different to Chinese* grammar? Or are there some similarities? Are there any TENSES in Chinese? How about the PASSIVE voice? AUXILIARY VERBS? ...and MODAL VERBS? 

Is our basic SENTENCE STRUCTURE the same? 

Yes! These all exist in Chinese too! So, what is DIFFERENT? What is the SAME? 

Come to a short talk about this subject and learn more about English grammar!

NOTE: Here the word "Chinese" refers to Cantonese.

Language: English
