There are a couple examples here using this structure: "拿着" . Would that be incorrect/different to only use "拿" in those cases?
I don't really understand how 着 is to be used.
Mandarin Blueprint
It's like "holding", and 着 basically says that the action was happening in the point of time the speaker is narrating about.
Chris Lewis
I cannot remember how many lessons ago it was said but we were told, again, that we will notice when a character (一台) is a measure word and not some random character. Your lessons are sinking in! Of course, when I looked it up on pleco it said all of the following: for certain machinery/apparatus/instruments: a typewriter, computer, tractor, a stage performance, a modern drama, and a song and dance. interesting combination of things!
