"My students do not like reading books."

Translation: 我的学生不喜欢看书。

[FrenchByte]

Shouldn't 读书 be the main translation ?

[Jolyn641250]

看书and 读书can both be used

[JairoCaste19]

«kaishu» once more

[TassSinclair]

Agreed.

[RenatoArauj8]

When should I use 在?

[Casanova009]

在 meams 'at' and 'is/are currently'

[1b4q4]

When you want to show that is current time (present continuos: -ing). Like "I am reading". 我 在 看书

[IrisMariel7]

As far as I'm concerned 在 is used whenever an action is currently taking place.

[Anderson__Campos]

Quando voce quer passar o verbo para o gerundio, mas nesse caso a traduçao pro ingles fica um pouco tricky, pro portugues ficaria mais como "meus alunos nao gostam de ler"

[calie499575]

Can you just say wo xue sheng?

[Jolyn641250]

you could but it's usually used in informal context

[Jamil923116]

讀書 > 看書

[ZDAj8]

Wrong translation: 学生 xue sheng is singular. So students should be 学生们 xue sheng men （plural ）

[EquanimousLingo]

It can also be plural

[Jolyn641250]

when you say “我的学生“ it also means my students，which is plural

[Derek566508]

Can you not also say 我学生 instead of 我的？

[ConnorGabr1]

You can. The app just likes it when we expand even when unnecessary.

[ErmilyPermily]

You should use 的 to show possession when you are talking about people which are not your immediate family members. With immediate family members it is implied.
