Numbers and Measure WordsHSK 3

Measure words with "this" and "that"

In Chinese, when you use 这 (zhè, this) or 那 (nà, that) to point to a noun, you must put a measure word between the demonstrative and the noun. The pattern is 这/那 + Measure Word + Noun. A common mistake is leaving out the measure word—don't forget to include it.
