[Note: This is the phone number for the police in the PRC.] [Note: This is the phone number for an ambulance in the PRC.] [Note: This is the phone number to report a fire in the PRC.] So eleven is 十一 (shíyī), twelve is 十二 (shí'èr), thirteen is 十三 (shísān), and so on up to nineteen, which is 十九 (shíjiǔ).

Measure words have a number of important uses, but one of the first ways you'll need to use them is for counting. Whenever you talk about the quantity of something in Chinese, you need a measure word. You can't say "a furniture"; you need a measure word: "a piece of furniture," "two sheets of paper," "three glasses of water," and so on.

Again, the direction of the movement relative to the speaker (or at least to the context of the conversation) is important when deciding what complement to use. You can't say 回来中国 because 回 is the verb, 来 is the complement, and 中国 is the object. Directional complements work very well in 把 sentences, as they can be used to describe the disposal of an object (what happened to it in the end).

Rather than placing 不 (bù) before it as with other verbs, you must use 没 (méi) to negate the verb 有 (yǒu). Note: because of the special relationship between 没 (méi) and 有 (yǒu), the pinyin for 没有 is normally written without a space: "méiyǒu." Remember that trying to negate 有 (yǒu) with 不 (bù) is a classic mistake that many people make in the early stages of studying Chinese:

This particle works in a similar way to apostrophe-"s" in English, but is used much more broadly in Chinese. This means "Noun 1's Noun 2" (where Noun 2 belongs to Noun 1). It doesn't matter whether the "Noun 1" is a person, place, or thing, or even if it's a pronoun ( like "he," "she," or "it"). If you have any questions about this grammar point, please ask in the class forums!
