Question with an interrogative pronoun
A question with an interrogative pronoun has the same word order as that of a declarative sentence. Example:- 他是谁？Who is he?- 他是我的学生。He is my student.The interrogative particle 吗
When the interrogative particle 吗 (ma) is added at the end of a declarative sentence, it becomes a question. Example:- 你认识他。You know him.- 你认识他吗？Do you know him?- 他是老师。He is a teacher.- 他是老师吗？Is he a teacher?The possesive particle 的
When used attributively to show possession, a noun usually takes the structural particle 的 (de) after it. Example:- 我的老师 my teacher- 老师的学生teacher's studentCalligraphy exercises
