Sentences:

1.太好了!
Wonderful!
真好!
Pretty good!
用汉语来表示称赞,最简单的表达法是在褒义形容词前加上副词“真”,比如“真好”、“真漂亮”。或者,你也可以把褒义形容词放在“太”和“了”的中间,比如“太好了”、“太漂亮了”。
To express an exclamation in Chinese, the simplest way is to use the adverb "zhen" before the commendatory adjective. For example: "Pretty good", "Wonderful". Or put the commendatory adjective between "tai" and "le". For example: "It's so good", "It's so beautiful".

2.我太伤心了!
I'm so upset!
太可怕了!
It's so terrible!
“太”和“了”的中间加上形容词以后除了可以表示称赞外,有时还表示程度过头。这时的形容词一般是用来形容不如意的事情,比如“太累了”,“太热了”。另外,如果在“太”和“了”中间的褒义形容词前加上“不”,那么这个结构则是用来加强否定的程度,比如“这件衣服太不好看了”。
In addition to exclamation, the structure of "tai" + adjective + "le", sometimes also expresses an excessive and undesired degree. For example: "I'm too tired", "It's so hot". Besides, if the word "bu" is added between "tai" and a commendatory adjective, the structure produces a much stronger negative sense. For example: "This dress looks so awful!"
