Questions & Answers about sījiàokè de kèchéngbiǎo zài zhèlǐ.
How is this sentence broken down grammatically?
A simple way to parse it is:
- 私教课 = private lessons / personal training classes
- 的 = links 私教课 to the noun that follows, like of or ’s
- 课程表 = schedule / timetable
- 在这里 = is here / located here
So the structure is:
- [私教课的课程表] [在这里]
- [the private-lesson schedule] [is here]
Mandarin often puts the topic or thing being talked about first, and then says where it is.
What does 私教课 mean exactly?
私教课 usually means private lessons, one-on-one classes, or in some contexts personal training sessions.
Breakdown:
- 私 = private
- 教 = teach / instruction
- 课 = class / lesson
The exact English translation depends on context:
- in education: private tutoring lessons
- in fitness: personal training classes
- in music/language study: private lessons
So you should understand it as a specific kind of class: one that is taught privately rather than in a group.
