Comprehensive Quiz / 综合测试 (15 questions)
请你这件事告诉他。
把 is used to indicate doing something to a specific, definite object. 请你把这件事告诉他 = Please tell him about this matter.
她把房间。
After 把, the verb must have a result or complement. A bare verb (打扫) or adjective phrase (很干净) is not enough. 打扫干净了 gives the completed result.
我把课文。
把+O+V+frequency (Pattern 6). 读了两遍 = read two times, providing the required complement after the verb.
Which sentence uses 把 correctly?
把 cannot be used with psychological verbs (喜欢), indefinite objects (一本书), or without a verb. 请把门关上 is correct: 把+definite O+V+result.
老师让我们把生词。
把+O+V一V (Pattern 4). 抄一抄 = copy/write out (tentative aspect), giving the verb a proper complement.
他把手机了。
把+O+V+result complement. 摔坏 = dropped and broke (V+result). A bare adjective (坏) or 是 construction doesn't work in 把字句.
Which sentence is INCORRECT?
把 cannot be followed by a psychological/stative verb like 喜欢. 把字句 requires an action verb that changes the state of the object.
妈妈把菜。
把+O+V+result. A bare verb (做), progressive (在做), or 的 ending (做的) are all incomplete. 做好了 = finished cooking (V+result+了).
他把这首歌。
把+O+V+frequency (Pattern 6). 唱了两遍 = sang twice. The other options either lack a complement or use non-action constructions.
请把这段话翻译成英文。
把+O+adverbial+V (Pattern 7). The adverbial modifier uses 地 before the verb: 仔细地 = carefully. 仔细 alone is an adjective and cannot modify a verb directly in this structure.
我们把教室布置了一下。
把+O+adverb+V (Pattern 7). 重新 = again/anew, is a proper adverb that can go between object and verb in 把字句.
Choose the correct word order:
The correct order is: Subject(我) + 把 + Object(行李) + Verb+complement(整理一下). 把 always comes after the subject and before the object.
Which sentence has a word order error?
In Pattern 7, the adverb goes after the object: 请把作业仔细地做完, not 请仔细地把作业做完. The adverbial modifier belongs between 把+O and V.
她名字写在了黑板上。
She actively wrote the name on the blackboard — this is an action on a specific object, so 把 is correct. 被 would be passive (the name was written by someone), which doesn't match the meaning here.
How many rules must a valid 把字句 follow?
Three key rules: (1) the object must be definite/specific, (2) the verb must be an action verb (not stative/psychological), (3) the verb must be followed by some result, complement, or aspect marker — never bare.
