Wow, Fiona, thanks for the detailed response.

I figured there was something wrong with the sentence, but I just couldn't get a handle on what.

The combination of that translation and the 的 really threw me.

It makes sense now - thanks again.

Thanks earls. But I really would like a Chinese Pod teacher to explain the grammar of this particular sentence. I do believe I understand the use of 'zhe'. If that is not the issue, then I guess I don't understand the use of 的 in this sentence.

Would someone from Chinese Pod please answer this.

I am also struggling with it. It particular, I am wondering if "zhe" is the correct Pinyin for 着.

And neither of our comments appear on the conversations page.

How is your comment from 1 day ago when the lesson was only finally published an hour ago?

Do you have a secret for finding unpublished lessons?

And yes Chinese Pod, the links are all broken.

Thanks Fiona for the quick fix.

My experience with contacting technical support directly is that issues are dealt with much more slowly than by mentioning them on the conversations page. Has that changed?

Chinese Pod ... in your 7th expansion sentence, the mouseover Pinyin gives 还 as hái. In this sentence it should be huán.

去 means to go to a destination. The destination is always stated or is implicit in the context.

走 just means 'to leave'. There is no destination stated or implied.

Chinese Pod, your new lesson for today for some reason links to this old News and Features thread (with the same name). There is no way of getting to the actual lesson.
