Lesson

The 把 Sentence

1. Explain it simply

The 把 sentence is Subject + 把 + object + verb + result.

The verb cannot stand alone; it needs a result like 完, 上, 走, or 在 + place.

Use it when the action handles or changes the object: 把作业写完了, 把门关上。

2. Show examples

我把作业写完了。

Wǒ bǎ zuòyè xiěwán le.

I finished the homework.

把 + object + verb + 完

请把书放在桌子上。

Qǐng bǎ shū fàng zài zhuōzi shàng.

Please put the book on the table.

verb + 在 + place

他把车开走了。

Tā bǎ chē kāizǒu le.

He drove the car away.

verb + 走

3. Share a tip

把 needs a result after the verb. A bare verb like 我把书看 is wrong; say 我把书看完了。
