HSK 3 Grammar: Using 根据 to Express “According to”

根据 (gēnjù) is used when a statement, judgment, or action is based on information, evidence, a rule, or another source. This HSK 3 grammar lesson helps learners recognize what provides the basis for a sentence and place that information clearly before the main statement. It is useful when referring to reports, requirements, opinions, experience, or other grounds for a conclusion without exposing the lesson’s detailed examples.

Learning focus: 根据 + source or basis + main statement
