IN ENGLISH: explain what a "topic-comment sentence" is, and give examples
This is a special type of Chinese sentence structure. When a noun or noun phrase has become established as a noun element in a conversation, it can occur at the beginning of the sentence as the "topic," with the rest of the sentence functioning as the "comment" on it. This forms what is known as a "topic-comment sentence."
In such a sentence, the object can the verb can be brought forward to serve as the topic of the sentence.
Examples:
A: 我昨天买了一枝笔。
B: 那枝笔你用了吗?[那枝笔=topic, 你用了吗?=comment]
