For the 1st question, “were there any punctuations in classical Chinese?”.The answer is NO . It does not use any punctuation marks. The use of punctuation marks in modern Mandarin was a result of Chinese language reform in early 20th century by Chinese linguists, who brought in western linguistics practice into the language.For the 2nd question, “Were spaces used instead of commas and periods?”.Classical Chinese does not use spaces to separate sentences. They use function words 虛詞 , to indicate full stop, pause etc. A common example of a function word would be 兮 xi1 （indicating full stop, pause, or exclamation mark, used in the middle or end of a sentence).Other common function words include乎 hu1Used as exclamation marks, question mark, pause or full stop.也 ye3Used at the end of a statement, indicating stop / pause, exclamation mark者 zhe3Can refer to “people”, “things” etc. But sometimes put at the end of a subject to indicate “slight pause” or “judgement”.之 zhi1Can mean “this”, “they” (pronoun), “of”, but also can be put at the end of a sentence to indicate “stop”How did ancient Chinese learn to separate sentences?When ancient Chinese were exposed to classical Chinese, the teachers would teach them how to read each word correctly, to understand every sentence, and to learn how to separate sentences.The technique of separating sentences is known as “Duan Ju 斷句” (literally “cutting sentences”) , “Quan Dian 圈點” (literally “circling the point”) or “Ju Dou 句讀” (literally “reading sentences”), which the teacher will teach them.As they are reading Classical Chinese text, they will use their own annotation markings, notes and write it onto the book for their own self-reference and to help in their reading.Example of（。） - Full stop (indicating end of sentence)（ㆍ) - comma (separating sentences)(、） - Enumeration comma (pause mark)There will also be some notes that can be written on it.Example of a “Ju Du 句讀 ” (self marking for separating sentences) in ancient Chinese text.

This question is not grammatically correct although the meaning of it might answered. One way to make the question clearer is to ask:For how long has she been sleeping? If student were writing this question, the student would want to use this question.How long has she been sleeping? If a student were asking this question, the student would probably ask the question this way.Ending American English questions and/or sentences can be risky business. Usually ending a question and/or sentence with a preposition is not good English. If you need to find further details about using prepositions, take a look at a good grammar book. I can recommend many; however, I would guide you to look in the one that came with your English course. You can also look for grammar books in a library; ask the librarian to suggest some books that might be helpful to you.Suggestions:1.Look up pronouns in a good dictionary or grammar book. List them in your notebook. Write a sentence with each pronoun.2. Using a newspaper or magazine, choose one article to read. Circle all the pronouns you can see. Now, ask these questions: If the syntax (the way you put the English sentence into order), what is the order?Example: She went to sleep sitting up she was so tired. The pronouns are She and she.The first “She” is acting like a noun; the construction of this part of the sentence goes like this:She (pronoun) went (verb) to sleep (adverb). Can you see more clearly how pronouns are used?Have a good time with your research and analysis.

This question is predicated on a subjective opinion rather than a fact; but it is an opinion I've heard before and I'll speculate a bit as to why this might be below. But first, it's important to note that the largest factor in how difficult a person finds it to learn a particular language is how close the new language is to the person's native language and/or other languages they are already very familiar with. So, for someone who speaks Dutch, learning German is going to seem a lot easier than learning Thai. But the prevailing view is that there is nothing in any absolute sense that is more difficult or complex about learning Thai than learning German; we know this because there isn't much variation across languages in the age of acquisition or overall competence of child learners.All that being said, there are some other reasons - beyond how close your native language is to English (relative to French) - why you might find English easier. Specifically, English uses a more lexical strategy while French uses a more inflectional strategy. In other words, French has many tenses (12 if I'm remembering correctly, and you include perfective forms etc), and different inflections for each subject in each tense (e.g., je vais, tu vas, il/elle va, etc.)*. English technically has only two grammatical tenses (present and past), and instead we mark future by the use of modals like will (e.g., I will buy cookies). An interesting question is why English does this more than French, and French, arguably, more than Italian (see *). In terms of the world's languages, these three are relatively close with a fairly recent common ancestor, so why this particular difference?One hypothesis is that contact with other languages leads to a high number of adult learners, and changing the makeup of the population that uses a language can fundamentally change the language itself. As an example, a language can have a lexical strategy or an inflectional one to convey information. A bit more detail on what this means: In English, we convey information about the subject of a sentence by using a lexical item, often a pronoun (e.g., I go, you go, we go). This is necessary because, as you can see, the verb contains no information. Without the pronoun, we have no idea who is going. But in Italian, for example, this is quite different: io vado, tu va, noi andiamo. The inflection on the verb contains information about the subject, meaning the overt subject can be dropped: you can just say vado, va, andiamo (this is known as a Null-subject language).The argument goes that adult learners can deal with lexical strategies better than complex inflectional ones, so in a language with many adult learners, lexical strategies are likely to be more accurately learned and proliferate over time, to the detriment of inflectional paradigms (see Language Structure Is Partly Determined by Social Structure). To return to the verb inflection example, it would seem that it's easier to learn a few subject pronouns and stick those everywhere than to remember how to apply separate inflections, even if those inflections follow predictable rules across verbs†. Not many people speak Italian fluently as a second language (certainly not relative to English or even French, for example), so it doesn't need to respond to pressure from adult learners. French, on the other hand, was the lingua franca of international relations for a long time. Going further, English currently has far more non-native speakers than it does native speakers, and is arguably more wide-spread than even French ever was; this may underlie the higher level of deflexion and perceived "ease"of learning. Further still, Afrikaans is a language that was born thru contact (it is a creole), and is probably the least inflectional and most lexical of all the Germanic languages. Icelandic, on the other hand, has been most isolated, and retains the most complex case system and inflectional paradigms in the Germanic family.In all likelihood the primary factor that makes English seem a lot easier than French is that it may share more (perhaps surface) similarities with your native language, or, equally likely, you have had a lot more exposure to English prior to studying it, than to French. In other words, you knew more English than you thought you knew, before you studied it. But a potential contributing factor is, that English may actually be a bit easier to learn, especially for adult learners, because it has spent much of its recent history responding to strong pressures from adult learners. At this point this is largely a hypothesis, and in some circles a controversial one, but it's an interesting idea nonetheless.*Although, while there are actually different spellings, the pronunciations of many of these have collapsed in French, perhaps indicating a trend towards a more lexical strategy: vas and va are pronounced identically. In other Romance languages like Italian or Spanish, the inflections are more noticeably different in pronunciation.†But note that there are other things about Italian that many learners may find much easier than English, for example, the relationship between spelling and pronunciation is straightforward in Italian, but a nightmarein English, even for native English speakers.
