How come with this verb you don’t say
我出生在(了)上海？ with the “le”
as you say
昨天你在了那里？

Hi Brent, actually 昨天你在了那里？(zuo tian ni zai le na li) is wrong. 在 (zai) is never used with 了(le). What I said is “昨天你去了哪里? (zuo tian ni qu le na li)”, means “Where did you go yesterday’”? “Le” is used as the Past Tense.

Let me know if you have any further questions!

Ni hao Benny! with regards to Brent question, if you have to say “where were you yesterday?” do you say “zuo tian ni zai na li?”

Hi Benny,
This is my first post/comment. In these instances you don’t use ma at the end of the question. Is this because the ji in ni ji sui for example is understood to be a question word?
Thanks again for the great website.
