HSK Level 3 grammar and sentence patterns (50 in total)

The 把 construction (basic)

'把 + object + verb + extra element' tells how the object is dealt with. The verb must always be followed by some additional element.

请把门打开。

Please open the door.

The 把 construction (result complement + 了)

Adding a result complement and 了 to the verb of a 把 sentence shows that the action has been completed.

我把这些菜都吃完了。

I finished eating all of these dishes.

The 把 construction (把 ... 放在 ...)

'把 + object + 放在 + place' says where something is put; the place phrase comes after the verb.

请把行李箱放在门旁边。

Please put the suitcase by the door.

The 被 passive (agent stated)

'receiver + 被 + agent + verb' forms the passive. The verb needs a result element or 了 after it.

我的自行车被弟弟骑走了。

My bicycle was ridden away by my younger brother.

The 被 passive (agent omitted)

When the agent is unknown or need not be mentioned, it can be left out, giving simply '被 + verb'.

那个蛋糕被吃完了。

That cake has been eaten up.

Each sentence pattern comes as a set of pattern name, explanation and example sentence. All 50 patterns are available in the sentence structure screen.
