Where did you go? Positive and negative sentences in the past
  • heimaodian November 2014
    Q:Where did you go?
    你去哪儿了？ （nǐ qù nǎr le）

    A:I went to a meeting.
    我去开会了。  （wǒ qù kāi huì le）

    The particle 了（le） in 你去哪儿了？ （nǐ qù nǎr le） is used at the end of a sentence to indicate an action or situation in the past. However, when indicating a negative sense, 了（le） should be omitted, and the word 没（méi） should be inserted before the verb. 

    For example: 
    昨天我去了超市。（zuó tiān wǒ qù le chāo shì） 
    Affirmative：Yesterday I went to the supermarket. 

    昨天我没去超市。（zuó tiān wǒ méi qù chāo shì） 
    Negative: Yesterday I didn’t go to the supermarket.
