Grammar 语法
A 是 B — 'A is B'
。。
是 links two nouns: 我是学生 = I am a student. Put 不 before 是 to say 'is not': 她不是老师. Don't use 是 before adjectives: say 我很好, not 我是好.
Yes/no questions with 吗
？— 。/ 。
Add 吗 to the end of a statement to make a yes/no question. Answer by repeating the verb (是 / 不是). 呢 asks 'and you?': 我很好，你呢？
Saying your name with 叫
？— 。
叫 means 'to be called'. 什么 ('what') stays where the answer goes: 你叫什么名字？ → 我叫王明。 Chinese question words never move to the front.
