example :
^ Used Interrogatively
The adverb is often used in a question asking about degree or extent
□
□   [See Lesson 3.]
NT n (How old are you this year?)
NTchuan deylfu? (What size clothes do you wear?)
# □ ?
NT diduogao?
(How tall is your younger brother?)
The adjectives that follow ^ (duo) are typically those suggesting large extents such asy^ (da, big), M (gao, tall; high) and Sn   (yuan, far), rather than those denoting small degrees such as /h (xiao, small; little), □   /H(ai, short), and □  ifr (jin, near).
# The Structure
We have a □   (de) structure when a noun, a pronoun, or an adjective is followed by the structural particle ft □ (de). Grammatically, aft D   (de) structure is equivalent to a noun, e.g., ^ffn  ft (laoshl de, the teacher's), ScD  ft (wo de, mine),       □   (da de, the big one), etc. See also Grammar 8 in Lesson 7.

GRAMMAR : K/O&L.  W —# [ (not) the same as...]
To express similarity or dissimilarity between objects, persons or actions, we use the structure
NT de chenshan gen wo de yiyang. (Your shirt is the same as mine.)
Gui de yTfu he pianyi de yTfu bu yiyang. (Expensive clothes are different from cheap ones.)
Following       (     ng), an adjective can be used:
• / □ □ □ -H#Bjn
di gen gege     ng gao. (The younger brother is as tall as the older one.)
□   □   Zhe ge o gen na ge o     ng >
(This computer is as new as that one.)

• GRAMMAR : ] ^Ulk/{JÍjik...(suí rán    kě shi / dán shialthough... yet...)
This pair of conjunctions links the two clauses in a complex sentence. Note, however, that fi$$ (sul rán ) is often optional.
n zhe shuang xie hen    nyi, keshi       o bu shi. (Although this pair of shoes is inexpensive, it's not the right size.)
• □ □ □ XMJ
□   □   Zhe ben shu hen you   si, keshi   i gui le. (This book is very interesting, but it's too expensive.)
Whether or not fin  ^S(suTran) is used in the first clause, □
□ □ □ 7& (keshi/danshi) cannot be omitted in the second. The following sentence is, therefore, incorrect:
*fin □ □ f*fi^fS*l:Sn □ □ □ T
