When to use 着 for Continuing State

着 often follows verbs that create a visible state. The action happened or is maintained, and the resulting state continues.

他坐着看书。

He sits while reading.

她穿着红衣服。

She is wearing red clothes.

灯开着。

The light is on.

墙上挂着一张照片。

A photo is hanging on the wall.

Common traps

  • 着 is not the same as 正在.
  • Do not use 着 for a one-time completed result without a continuing state.
  • Some verbs pair with 着 much more naturally than others.
