The word 过 (guò) is used to talk about things you have done in the past. It shows that an action is finished. You can use it by placing 过 right after the verb.

How to Use 过:

1. Talking About Experiences:

   • For example: 我去过北京 (Wǒ qù guò Běijīng) means "I have been to Beijing."

2. Showing a Completed Action:

   • For example: 我吃过这个菜 (Wǒ chī guò zhège cài) means "I have eaten this dish."

Important Points to Remember:

• 过 tells us that you have done something at least once before.
• It often works with time words to explain when the action took place.

Once you understand how to use 过, you can easily talk about your past experiences in Mandarin!
