- I. What is the potential complement?
- </div>
- <p>The potential complement indicates whether an action can or cannot be carried out. The positive form uses <span class="pinyin">de</span> <span class="hanzi">得</span> between the verb and the complement; the negative form uses <span class="pinyin">bù</span> <span class="hanzi">不</span> between the verb and the complement. The complement can be a verb (e.g. <span class="pinyin">kàndedǒng</span> <span class="hanzi">看得懂</span> can understand by reading) or a stative verb (e.g. <span class="pinyin">kànbùqīngchu</span> <span class="hanzi">看不清楚</span> can't see clearly).</p>
