你好benny老师?
你可以帮我吗? 我怎么说这个句子,
I saw her writing on your wall。=我看到了他写你的墙上
你也可以告诉我怎么用“了”?
普通话, 我们应该说:
我吃饭了。
可是我看到了一本书从台湾说:我吃了早饭
因为有两个词所以了在verb后面。不过有一个词了在object后面。例如:我吃饭了。
I’m lost or confused…

Chinese Mandarin Learning : Days of the Week   Learn

Abstract : The wonderful thing about Chinese is that once you know how to say the numbers, you can pretty much say the days of the week and the months all in one! For example, saying Monday is like saying 'day 1 of the week' = Xīngqī yī and so on! This experience also unravels the mystery behind “Sunday”.
