III. Sentence structures with resultative complements
The resultative complement is a verb or stative verb suffixed to the main verb. A few things to remember when constructing a sentence in which the verb takes a resultative complement are:
Nothing can be placed between the verb and the complement.
Wǒ kànjiàn tā le. 我看见她了。
I saw her.
If le了 is used, it should be placed at the end of the sentence.
If the object has a modifier, the object is often placed at the beginning of the sentence.
Nà gè wèntí wǒ huídá duì le. 那个问题我回答对了。
I answered that question correctly.
The following examples show how resultative complements are used in declarative, negative, interrogative and bǎ把 sentences.
