Lesson 4 – Elementary – The Importance of “把” in HSK Exam

In order to help you pass HSK exam successively, we provide free Chinese lessons for you. Today we are going to talk about an important sentence pattern——sentence with “把”.

1. Structure:Subject+ 把 + object + predicate + other components(Doer + 把 + receiver + Verb)
2. Meaning: emphasize the handling, influence or results of objective made by action
3. You’d better pay attention to these following points in preparing HSK exam:
① if there are words like volitive auxiliary, negative adverb or time, these words should be put in front of “把”.
如:我想把包放回房间。(wǒ xiǎng bǎ bāo fàng huí fáng jiān.)
他没把词典带来。(tā méi bǎ cí diǎn dài lái.)
你别把电脑弄坏了。
② if the predicate in sentence has object, adverbs represent the whole range like “都,全”should be put in front of the predicative verb and behind “把”; adverbs represent exclusive range such as “只,仅仅” should be put behind “把”.
如:他把那些花全买下来了。(tā bǎ nà xiē huā quán mǎi xià lái le.)
你把钱都花完了吗?(nǐ bǎ qián dōu huā wán liǎo ma?)
他把我买的蛋糕全都吃完了!(tā bǎ wǒ mǎi de dàn gāo quán dōu chī wán le!)
我只把卧室打扫了。(wǒ zhǐ bǎ wò shì dá sǎo le.)
我只把你当朋友。(wǒ zhǐ bǎ nǐ dāng péng you.)

4. Here are some common patterns we concluded from study points of HSK exam:
① verb with complement: subject + 把+object+verb+complement(result/trend/time quantity/motion quantity)
如:你把房间打扫干净了吗?(nǐ bǎ fáng jiān dá sǎo gān jìng le ma ?)
你把我的词典带来了吗?(nǐ bǎ wǒ de cí diǎn dài lái le ma ?)
我把这个电影快进了十分钟。(wǒ bǎ zhè ge diàn yǐng kuài jìn le shí fēn zhōng.)
他把妈妈的信看了三遍。(tā bǎ mā ma de xìn kàn le sān biàn.)
② verb with object:
subject+把+object1+verb+在/到/上/给...+object2
如:请你把书放在桌子上。(qǐng nǐ bǎ shū fàng zài zhuō zi shàng.)
服务员把酒送到客人面前。(fú wù yuán bǎ jiǔ sòng dào kè rén miàn qián.)
他把朋友送上了火车。(tā bǎ péng you sòng shàng le huǒ chē.)
我把作业交给了老师。(wǒ bǎ zuò yè jiāo gěi le lǎo shī.)
③ subject+把+object1+verb+成/为/作...+object2
Common patterns:把...当作/看作/当成/看成/比作
如:请把这个句子翻译成中文。 (qǐng bǎ zhè ge jù zi fān yì chéng zhōng wén.)

5. Please notice that things referred by nouns behind“把”must be certain, this is a point that students often ignore in HSK exam.) 
如:请把那本书拿过来。(qǐng bǎ nà běn shū ná guò lái.)(it is a curtained book. You can’t say, “把有的书拿过来”.)
6. When preparing HSK exam, you should also pay attention to the predicative verbs which can’t be used in sentence with “把”.
① intransitive verb
如:旅行、合作etc.
② verbs which represent judgment and state.
如:是、有、像、在etc.
③ verbs which represent psychological activity or sense behavior
如:喜欢、讨厌、知道、认识、
同意、觉得、希望、要求、看见etc.
④ verbs which represent trend
如:上、下、进、出、回、过、起、到etc.
⑤ a certain thing which doesn’t exist originally is produced through a certain kind of action. In this situation, you can’t use “把” in the sentence.
如:她把女孩儿生了(ⅹ)(tā bǎ nǚ hái ér shēng le.)
她生了一个女孩儿(√)(tā shēng le yí gè nǚ hái ér.)
Attention:the predicative verb of sentence with “把”is usually transitive verb which can dominate and effect the objects of “把”.
