HSK 3 Prepositions (coverbs)

往

Toward (direction) with 往

Structure 往 + direction + Verb of motion

往 (wǎng) marks the direction of a movement: 往前走 = "go forward"; 往左拐 = "turn left". It goes before the verb, with a direction or reference point (前/后/左/右/里/外…). Very handy for giving directions.

Examples

  • 一yī直zhí往wǎng前qián走zǒu。

    Keep going straight ahead.

  • 往wǎng左zuǒ拐guǎi。

    Turn left.

  • 请qǐng往wǎng里lǐ走zǒu。

    Please move inside.

Levels are indicative: they follow the standard Chinese Grammar Wiki (AllSet Learning) progression, not an official HSK 3.0 mapping. We never assign levels by eye.
