Grammar Guide: Verb Tenses

In Chinese, when talking about fishing, pay attention to the verb tenses. For example, to say ‘I caught a fish,’ you would use the past tense verb 捕获 (bǔhuò). But if you want to say ‘I am fishing,’ you would use the present tense verb 钓鱼 (diàoyú). Make sure to match the verb tense with the specific fishing action you are describing!
