I Thought…: 以为 vs 认为
Write a short anecdote (50–120 characters) about a misunderstanding: what you thought, what was really true, how you felt, and what you think now.
- Use 以为 for what you wrongly believed
- Reveal the truth with 原来 or 其实
- Give a considered view at the end with 认为
- Tell the events in order with 了 and …的时候
Pick with a tap, a number key or Space. A Chinese keyboard on your device works in the box below too.
