Expressing "now" with "le"

Nível: HSK 1 | Categoria: Gramática

Explicação da Regra:

现在 (xiànzài) isn't the only way to express "now." You'll notice that in many common expressions, 了 (le) is used in place of the word for "now." This pattern is actually the same as change of state with "le", but the examples below are somewhat idiomatic and can also easily be confused with a direct translation of "now" in Chinese, so they get special treatment here. [New Situation] + 了
