Abstract
The article is devoted to the study of syntactic means of creating the present tense effect in the Chinese language. The problem of tense has become a popular research topic for linguists due to the growing interest in changes in human society, technological discoveries and the acceleration of socio-economic processes. In each language, the designations of time and temporal relations have their own characteristics. There is no morphology in the language under study, therefore there are no morphological indicators of the present tense, but the combination of semi-suffixes 着 (zhe) and 了 (le), modal particles 了 (la) may indicate that two (or more) processes occur simultaneously in the present.
