[quote=SAKEFREE,364245]I think the problem is you didn't give a context. those words have many different meanings under different circumdances, they are perplexing yes. I am just trying my best to throw some light upon your puzzle. 之 1. first of all, it is a pronoun, it can replace a person, a thing and a matter. I would like to give you a example. 为之, means do something, here 为 means do, and 之 is a pronoun replacing a certain thing. 2 it is a auxiliary word, if we say A 之 B, means A's B or B of A, like 上帝之名, means in god's name. or 千里之行, means a jounrney of a thousand miles. 着 1 if we put 着 behind a verb, that means the action is happening right now, kind of like the present tense in English. for example, 吃着饭, means eating. 2 sometimes we use it and another word together to describe a feeling or a sence. for example 着火 means on fire, 着急 means anxious. I think it will be easier for you to remember some phrases, they will help you understand their meanings[/quote]
