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

让

Making / letting with 让

Structure A + 让 + B + Verb

让 (ràng) is the causative: A 让 B + verb = "A makes B (do something)" or "A lets B…". 老师让我们读课文 = "the teacher has us read the text". B is both the object of 让 and the subject of the second action. Negate before 让: 妈妈不让我玩 = "Mom won’t let me play". Close relatives: 叫 and 使.

Examples

  • 妈mā妈ma不bù让ràng我wǒ玩wán游yóu戏xì。

  • 这zhè个ge电diàn影yǐng让ràng我wǒ很hěn感gǎn动dòng。

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.
