  <div class="gris">
    + (<span class="pinyin">yī</span> <span class="hanzi">一</span>) + reduplicated verb
Stating how one anticipates the object will be dealt with.
Completed action uses <span class="pinyin">–le</span> <span class="hanzi">了</span> instead of <span class="pinyin">yī</span> <span class="hanzi">一</span>. The sentence may need to take a clause.

<br/><span class="pinyin">Qǐng bǎ zhèi kài biǎo xiūxiu.</span> <br/> <span class="hanzi">请把这块表修修。</span>(same in meaning as +&#160;<span class="pinyin">yī</span>&#160;<span class="hanzi">一</span>&#160;+ reduplicated verb)<br/> Please fix this watch.</li>

    <br/>

    <li><audio src="../Audio/ba-IV-9.2.mp3" controls="controls"></audio>

<br/><span class="pinyin">Qǐng bǎ zhèi kài biǎo xiū yi xiū.</span> <br/> <span class="hanzi">请把这块表修一修。</span>(same in meaning as + reduplicated verb)<br/> Please fix this watch.</li>

    <br/>

    <li><audio src="../Audio/ba-IV-9.3.mp3" controls="controls"></audio>

<br/><span class="pinyin">Tā bǎ zhèi kài biǎo xiū-le xiū, xiànzài yòu néng zǒu le.</span> <br/> <span class="hanzi">她把这块表修了修, 现在又能走了。</span>(-<span class="pinyin">le</span> <span class="hanzi">了</span> + verb)<br/> She fixed the watch a little bit and now it's working again. 

    <p>Note: Monosyllabic verbs when reduplicated can take <span class="pinyin">yī</span> <span class="hanzi">一</span> or <span class="pinyin">le</span> <span class="hanzi">了</span> inbetween, as in 9.2 and 9.3. Disyllabic verbs when reduplicated may not do the same. So it would be wrong to say <span class="pinyin">jiěshì yi jiěshì</span> <span class="hanzi">解释一解释</span> 'explain' or <span class="pinyin">jiěshì le jiěshì</span> <span class="hanzi">解释了解释.</span></p></li>
