도입됨저장된 위치는 이 브라우저에 유지됩니다. 계속하기는 수업을 완료하거나 질문에 답하는 것이 아닙니다.
Your friend sings at a party
- Your friend finishes a song and everyone claps. You want to praise how she sang, not just say that she sang.
- you你to sing唱(degree marker)得very很well好！ — "You sang really well!"
Verb + (degree marker)得 + description
- (degree marker)得 (de) links an action to a comment on how it was done: 唱得very很well好, sang well. very很 usually comes before the adjective, as in other descriptions.
- The comment describes the action's manner or result, not the person in general. he他run跑(degree marker)得very很fast快 says he runs fast.
he他run跑得very很fast快。
Complete: “He runs very fast.” 他跑____很快。

得 links the action 跑 to the description 很快.
Ask how something was done
- Ask with how about怎么样: he他speak说(degree marker)得how about怎么样？ — "How well does he speak?" Answer with the same pattern: he他speak说(degree marker)得very很well好.
- Say it was not done well with not不 before the adjective: I我write写(degree marker)得no good不好。 — "I don't write well." The not不 goes after (degree marker)得, not before the verb.
I我write写得not不well好。
In 我写得不好, the 不 goes after 得 and before the adjective.

True. The negative comments on the result, so 不 comes after 得 — 写得不好 means “write badly”.

Subject + verb + 得 + 怎么样 asks how well the action was done.
When the verb has an object
- Repeat the verb: she她speak说Chinese汉语speak说(degree marker)得very很well好。 — "She speaks Chinese very well." The first speak说 takes the object Chinese汉语; the second speak说 takes (degree marker)得.
- You can also leave out the first verb: she她Chinese汉语speak说(degree marker)得very很well好. Both are common; she她speak说(degree marker)得Chinese汉语very很well好 is wrong.
she她speak说Chinese汉语speak说得very很well好。
Which sentence says “She speaks Chinese very well”?

With an object, repeat the verb — 说汉语 + 说得很好. The object cannot sit between 得 and 很好, and the description must follow 得.
Watch out
- Put the description after (degree marker)得, not before the verb: he他run跑(degree marker)得very很fast快, not he他very很fast快run跑(degree marker)得.
- The object cannot come between (degree marker)得 and the description. Repeat the verb (she她speak说Chinese汉语speak说(degree marker)得very很well好) or move the object forward (she她Chinese汉语speak说(degree marker)得very很well好).
Recap
- Verb + (degree marker)得 + (very很) + adjective comments on how an action is done: 唱得very很well好, run跑(degree marker)得very很fast快.
- Negative: (degree marker)得 + not不 + adjective (write写(degree marker)得no good不好). With an object, repeat the verb: speak说Chinese汉语speak说(degree marker)得very很well好.
A classmate has just given a short talk in Chinese. Close the examples. Say one sentence praising how they spoke and one about something you do not do well, then write both in Chinese.
Compare meaning and word order with the model; your sentences need not copy it. A partner or teacher must hear the spoken version to comment on pronunciation.
