PART 2: Read the dialogue.
大卫： Nǐ q​ ùguò z​ hōngguó mǎ?
你 去 过 中 国 吗？
安妮： Wǒ ​qù guò​ zhōngguó。
我 去 过 中 国
山本： Nǐ q​ ù guò​ shànghǎi ma?
你 去 过 上 海 吗
安妮： Wǒ méi q​ ùguò s​ hànghǎi, wǒ ​qùguò​ běijīng. Wǒ ​qù guò
我 没 去 过 上 海， 我 去过 北京。 我 去 过
gùgōng hé chángchéng.
故 宫 和 长 城

Look how “ 过“ is used in the dialogue. This aspectual particle is used to

indicate past actions or past experiences in Chinese grammar. It is placed
immediately after the verb in the sentence. In English, the equivalent would simply
be “have”, e.g. in “I have done that”, “I have eaten”, “He has seen it” and so on.
Sentence structure:
Subject + （没 ）Verb + 过 + Object
​ 没 - is place before the verb to indicate the negative form

Examples:
I have eaten my breakfast - Wǒ chīguò zǎofàn
我 吃过 早饭
I have heard about that - Wǒ tīng shuōguò.
我 听 说过
I have been to Canada - Wǒ qùguò Jiā'nádà.
