Aspect Review: 了, 过, 着
Review the three major aspect markers together.
Pattern
了 = event/change; 过 = experience; 着 = continuing state
Choose aspect by what the sentence highlights.
他买了票。
When to use Aspect Review: 了, 过, 着
了, 过, and 着 do not map cleanly to English tense. They mark event completion/change, experience, and continuing state.
我去过那个地方。
I have been to that place before.
门开着，我们进去吧。
The door is open; let us go in.
他穿着黑色衣服。
He is wearing black clothes.
我已经看完了。
I already finished reading it.
Common traps
- Do not treat 了 as past tense.
- 过 is not tied to a specific time unless you add one.
- 着 describes states more often than active progress.
