Hi, I am Helen
Zhang, a fessional Chinese language teacher from China. There are mainly three rules
about the position of tone marks:
1) The tone marks should be put
above a vowel if there is only one vowel in a syllable. For example: mā, pí, bà.
2) The tone mark should be put
above the main vowel， if a syllable contains two or more vowels.
For example: māo, mēi, kǒu.
3) The tone mark should be put
above the latter vowel if a syllable contains a final “iu” or “ui.” For
example: diū, guī.
I hope that can be
a help to you.
