Can someone verify the meanings and age of these ancient Chinese characters? +1 for getting to the bottom. It is annoying to see false facts used as supportive materials. |

Pinyin Tone Rules @DesolatePlanet The wikipedia reference in my previous comment matches what I was taught in school, so I believe it's the right answer. But if you can include the conflicting examples you encounter, it will make up the specificness and research effort this question is missing. |

Pinyin Tone Rules I voted for closing because this question is overly broad. You're welcome to ask specific questions you encounter during learning Pinyin. The 'rules' in your first question is commonly known as 'tone sandhi', there are plenty of resources if you search this term online. For the second question, commonly known as 'tone mark placement', you can find the answer on wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinyin#Rules_for_placing_the_tone_mark |

Do 和 and 及 refer to two different kinds of “ands?” @juckele Just to point out, the second 跟 (in 跟我一块来) is special when used before an action verb like 来, because it's ambiguous between the verb 'to follow' vs. the conjunction 'succeeding; and', i.e. physical vs. logical. So your sentence can be interpreted as either 'You and he and I, let's go together' or 'You and he, follow me'. |

Differentiate 不错 and 没错 in these situations @Stan At a second thought I think you're right, it's not common and sound natural only in specific circumstances. I have updated the answer. For a concrete example, think of a 相声-like conversation: “我回家了”“是”“我一打开门”“没错”“我一看”“看见什么了？”…… Having used this type of conversation with my friends in Beijing from time to time, it may be my false assumption that it sounds natural to all Mandarin speakers. |

Why is 的 used in these sentences? Chinese language appears not strict in grammar only after you mastered it. |
