Layered modifiers and expressive complements

Several adverbials can frame one action. Potential complements assess feasibility, while 得 can introduce a phrase, clause or idiom describing degree and consequence. Directional complements can describe recovery, onset or continuation instead of literal travel.

昨天在办公室认真地

Layered adverbials

Several adverbials can express time, location, participants and manner before a predicate. Order follows scope and natural grouping.

他昨天在办公室认真地检查了文件。

Tā zuó tiān zài bàn gōng shì rèn zhēn de jiǎn chá le wén jiàn.

He carefully checked the documents in the office yesterday.

Lỗi hay gặp: Do not enforce one rigid order for every combination; check intended focus.

动词+得/不得

Permission or possibility with 得/不得

In established forms, V不得 expresses something cannot or must not be done; V得 is less freely productive.

这件事急不得。

Zhè jiàn shì jí bù de.

This matter cannot be rushed.

Thêm

Lỗi hay gặp: Do not attach 得/不得 to every verb as an unrestricted formula.

形容词/心理动词+得+不得了

Extreme degree complement

得不得了 after a quality or psychological predicate emphasizes an extreme degree.

我担心得不得了。

Wǒ dān xīn de bù dé liǎo.

I am terribly worried.

Thêm

Lỗi hay gặp: Keep 得 before 不得了 in this complement pattern.

醒过来

Extended directional states

下来 can calm or settle, 下去 continue, 起来 begin or emerge, 过来 recover, and 过去 lapse in appropriate lexical combinations.

他终于醒过来了。

Tā zhōng yú xǐng guò lái le.

He finally regained consciousness.

Thêm

安静下来 settle down; 坚持下去 keep persevering; 热闹起来 become lively; 醒过来 regain consciousness; 昏过去 faint. Teach the actual lexical combinations; a direction character does not independently guarantee a state meaning.

Lỗi hay gặp: Meaning depends on the verb–complement pairing; no single English word covers each suffix.

得不想说话

A verbal phrase as complement

After 得, a verb phrase can describe the consequence or manifestation of an action or quality.

他累得不想说话。

Tā lèi de bù xiǎng shuō huà.

He is so tired that he does not want to talk.

Thêm

Lỗi hay gặp: This is a complement of degree/consequence, not a purpose clause.

得满头都是汗

A clause as complement

得 can introduce a subject–predicate clause describing the outcome or manifestation of the preceding predicate.

他跑得满头都是汗。

Tā pǎo de mǎn tóu dōu shì hàn.

He ran until his whole head was covered in sweat.

Thêm

Lỗi hay gặp: The complement can contain its own subject, such as 满头.

得不亦乐乎

An idiom as complement

A fixed expression after 得 can vividly describe an action's manner or effect.

孩子们玩得不亦乐乎。

Hái zi men wán de bù yì lè hū.

The children were having a wonderful time playing.

Thêm

Lỗi hay gặp: Learn the fixed expression's register; do not generate arbitrary idioms.
