The Pattern “好+V/难+V”

Add to My Grammar

The pattern “好+V/难+V” is used as an adjective phrase within a sentence.

“好+V/难+V”can be used as an adjective phrase in a sentence to express a preference for an image, sound, melody, taste, feeling and so on. For example: "好看"，"难看"，"好听", "难听","好吃","难吃". But, you can only say "好玩儿", as "难玩儿" doesn't make sense.

Chinese Culture

Gui Street

Situated inside the Dongzhi Gate, Gui Street is a renowned culinary street in Beijing. Not only can you taste all kinds of authentic Beijing snacks, but you can also find special delicacies from other parts of China. There are a number of embassies located around Gui Street, making it a popular place to visit for overseas tourists, as well as foreigners working in Beijing.

Gui Street is not just a culinary street; it also represents Beijing’s nightlife. When night falls, Gui Street becomes bright and noisy, welcoming friends from all over the world. So, after a long day's travel, it's a good idea to take a walk along Gui Street, tasting delicacies and happily chatting about all manner of subjects.
