When to use Particles 者, 之, 等 and 就是
These four are grammar words, not content words. 者 goes after a verb or adjective to mean “a person who”: 读者 “reader”, 参加者 “participant”. 之 is a formal 的 used in set forms such as 之一 “one of” and 三分之一 “one third”. 等 closes a list (“and so on”), and 就是 at the very end of a sentence means “just…, that’s all”.

Erros comuns
- Don’t use 之 as an everyday 的: say 我的书, not 我之书. Keep 之 for set forms like 之一 and 三分之一.
- Fractions name the whole first: 三分之一 is “one third”; 一分之三 is wrong.
- Don’t build 者 words freely: 学者 means “scholar”, not “student”. A learner is 学生 or 学习者.
