Lesson one

Numeral-measure words as attributives

1. wǒ yǒu yì běn shū

2. wǒ yǒu yí gè jiějie.

In modern chinese a numeral alone is not used to qualify a noun and a measure word has to be used in between(ex.1,2).most nouns have their specific measure words(ex.1). 个（ ge ） is the commonest measure word and can be used with most nouns.

The tones of 一（ yī ） When 一 stands alone, it is pronounced in

the first tone, when it precedes a syllable of the first, second or third tone ,it is pronounced in the fourth tone. it is pronounced in the second tone,when it is followed by a fourth tone

一家公司 yì jiā gōngsī 一名学生 yì míng xuésheng 一本书 yì běn shū

一个妹妹 yí gè mèimei

两 (liǎng) ： two

If number is two, 两（ liǎng ） is used before the measure word, not 二(èr)

wǒ yǒu liǎng běn shū tā yǒu liǎng gè mèimei
