ABSTRACT

Another common error is to use more than one adverb to modify the same descriptive adjective. This mistake usually occurs when suffix . . . jí le ‘extremely’ already attaches to the descriptive adjective, as in error 1i, where another adverb hGn ‘very’ is also used. Remember, the only adverb that can pair with . . . jí le is zhBnshì ‘truly,’ as in the correction.
