HSK 3 Special structures (把 · 被 · 是…的 · 让)

把

The 把 construction

Structure Subject + 把 + object + Verb + complement

The 把 (bǎ) sentence moves the OBJECT forward (after 把, before the verb) to say what is DONE to it and, above all, what HAPPENS to it in the end. That’s why the verb is hardly ever bare: it carries a complement (result, direction, 了, location…). 我把书放在桌子上 = "I put the book on the table". Use it when the object is specific and the action changes it or places it somewhere.

Examples

  • 我wǒ把bǎ书shū放fàng在zài桌zhuō子zi上shàng。

    I put the book on the table.

  • 请qǐng把bǎ门mén关guān上shàng。

    Please close the door.

  • 他tā把bǎ作zuò业yè做zuò完wán了le。

    He finished the homework.

Levels are indicative: they follow the standard Chinese Grammar Wiki (AllSet Learning) progression, not an official HSK 3.0 mapping. We never assign levels by eye.
