Hi Benny and everybody,

How are the sentences in Mandarin constructed?

It is like this:
Subject-Time-Place-Prepositional Phrase-Verb-Object?

Or are there other possible combinations?

Anyway,are the following sentences correct in terms of mandarin grammar?

我非常地想念她。
你从哪里来吗?
你来自哪里吗?
什么时候你来到上线吗?
什么时候大家都来到上线吗?
我的姓有很多意思,因此我不知道哪个是对的。

I’m not sure and I’m some what get confuse with Mandarin grammar that is why I ask.

Thank you guys and girls in advance.

Hi Cloud,

The sentence structure is correct, just one thing, time could be placed before the Sunject.

The sentences you posted has several mistakes, the correct answer is:

我非常想念她, 你从哪里来? 你来自哪里? 什么时候你来到"上线" (do you mean by Shanghai?, as a Noun, 上线doesn’t make sense)

什么时候大家都来"上线"? (again, it doesn’t make sense) 我的姓有很多意思,因此我不知道哪个是对的。

The only meaning for “上线” as a “Verb” is “go online”. Do you mean by that?

Also in Chines grammar, when you use question words such as “what, when and what time” you don’t need to put “吗”
