When to use Large and Approximate Amounts
Read 万 / 好多 / 多 as a sentence tool, not just as vocabulary. First locate the main action or claim, then ask what 万 adds to it.
这个城市有一百万人。
This city has a million people.
他赚了一万块。
He earned ten thousand yuan.
观众超过三万。
The audience exceeded thirty thousand.
Common traps
- Do not translate 万 / 好多 / 多 mechanically from English; check the Chinese word order first.
- Keep 万 close to the part of the sentence it controls.
- Do not overuse the pattern in every sentence; use it when it adds a clear role.
