"My daughter will live in the UK next year."

Translation: 我的女儿明年会住在英国。

[Eric87397]

you can put the subject before or after the time.

[WillowsofXihu]

And the verb can also come after the location in this case.

[FrenchByte]

Duo doesn't know that. The course is still in Beta.

[saluton]

Shouldn't the 会 be optional, since we already got 明年 to indicate that we are talking about the future?

[Zarainia]

To be honest, in real life I don't usually hear people use 会 to indicate future anyways, yet Duolingo requires it.

[felixtjones]

Same question here.

[Ruth704353]

When I learnt Chinese in Taiwan, we were taught that 'de' is not necessary if you're talking about a close relationship i.e. my wife.

[sagitta145]

Yes, same here :)

"我女儿明年会住在英国" should be accepted.

[mingmd]

It certainly should be!

[ktdeauna]

How is Chinese from Taiwan different from the one in the USA?

[SantiagoChau]

Why should I put 会 if 明年 is already there

[JasonLeung1]

的 is optional.

[Sayan_Tsy]

你好。 How to put 女儿 on chinese keyboard? I install standart windows chinese keyboard. i type "nu'er", it give me 奴儿(slave). What am i doing wrong?

[Sayan_Tsy]

Ok, i find answer. You need to type “nv'er” to "女儿"

[Yasmin89999]

Ming nian wo de nu er hui zhu zai ying guo

[DanielKulkamp]

why not: 我的女儿下个年会住在英国?

[sagitta145]

The words for day and year are somehow special in that way, they don't use 下 and 上. It's 明年 and 去年 instead of 下年 and 上年, as well as 明天 and 昨天. Other time-related words like month and week do use 下 and 上.

[Beth963820]

Time element can go first

[ConorPatri4]

“明年我的女儿会住在伦敦” Is it okay to put "明年" first? Marked wrong by duolingo

[VaVuthea]

Can we use 下个年 = 明年？

[CorgiCerberus]

我女儿明年会住在英国 ought to be accepted. I was taught that one could omit the "的" when it comes to people you are very close to.

[Devon711559]

Lacking any way to report GUI bugs, I hit REPORT and check every box, then hit DISCUSS. So crude. This particular bug is, given a bad answer, the good answer is shown in text but not pronounced.

[krishtr]

can somebody explain to me why it needs 会？

[CorgiCerberus]

《会》 can be used for several grammatical functions, here it's is being used to indicate a future tense as "will". Place 《会》 before most verbs and it will usually mean a soft "will". Other words can be used to emphasize the importance of the future such as 《一定》 and 《得》.

[krishtr]

thanks for the explanation mate, here's a lingot

[Tomer315]

When speaking of relatives the "的" can be skipped

[mingmd]

I thought that you did not need 的 when referring to a close relation.

[_leafdrops_]

Why can i not use 去年 instead of 明年?

[14minx14]

明年我女兒住在英國。我寫錯了嗎？

[Zack752346]

beta sucks

[LazyEinstein]

The Beta is amazing. It is forcing me to really look into every sentence. I am using a dictionary regularly and I am always referencing great online resources to confirm my understanding.

I have definitely been learning so much.

[DamoTheExemplar]

I am just glad I learnt Chinese at school and that basically built my foundation of Chinese Manderin. I am learning so much more with Duo and I am glad it has a Chinese Course in this particular way.

[leowtyx]

Native here, can't even get pass the 3rd checkpoint test multiple times.

Beta sucks.

[sagitta145]

So why don't you help develop it? :) That's the whole point xD

[JasonLeung1]

haha same, oh well.

[the1best]

I had "我的女儿会住在英国明年。" and DUMB-DUO marked me wrong!! If you had a similar answer and DUMB-DUO marked you wrong, report it. BOO,DUMB-DUO!!

[CorgiCerberus]

Basic Chinese sentence structure goes: Subject + Adverb + Verb + Complement + Object. In this case, the indication of time would be in the adverb slot. You're sentence is legitimately incorrect, but I'd use this opportunity to grow! 我为你加油！

[DamoTheExemplar]

But I don't think 明年 should be placed right at the end of a sentence. Chinese sentences are set out differently but not too different. Duo just wants to make sure you learn and know the proper words and placements of where words go.
