Questions & Answers about Cửa hàng này sẽ bắt đầu bán phở vào sáng mai.
What does cửa hàng mean in this sentence?
cửa hàng means “shop” or “store,” referring to a place that sells goods or food.
Why is sẽ used before bắt đầu?
sẽ is the future‐tense marker in Vietnamese. Placed before a verb, it indicates that the action will happen in the future. So sẽ bắt đầu means “will begin.”
What role does bắt đầu play here?
bắt đầu means “to begin” or “to start.” In this sentence, it shows that the shop is starting a new activity (selling phở).
Why is the verb phrase bắt đầu bán phở structured this way rather than bán phở bắt đầu?
In Vietnamese, when one verb (bắt đầu) indicates the start of another action (bán), you put the “starting” verb first, then the main action, then its object: bắt đầu bán phở literally “begin selling phở.”
Could you drop bắt đầu and just say cửa hàng này sẽ bán phở vào sáng mai?
Yes. cửa hàng này sẽ bán phở vào sáng mai (“This shop will sell phở tomorrow morning”) is perfectly correct. Omitting bắt đầu simply removes the nuance of “starting” something new.
What does phở refer to?
phở is a famous Vietnamese noodle soup, usually made with broth, rice noodles, herbs, and beef or chicken. It’s one of Vietnam’s signature dishes.
Why is vào used before sáng mai?
vào is a preposition used before time expressions, similar to “at” or “on” in English: vào sáng mai means “on/at tomorrow morning.”
Can you omit vào and just say sáng mai?
Yes. In casual speech, cửa hàng này sẽ bán phở sáng mai still sounds natural. Including vào is slightly more formal or precise.
Why is the time expression vào sáng mai placed at the end of the sentence?
Vietnamese often places time phrases at the beginning or end. Putting vào sáng mai at the end maintains focus on the new action (starting to sell phở). It’s the most natural position in conversational style.
