把bǎ

把 Sentence with Result Complement

Meaning: 把 sentence emphasizing outcome of disposal

Pattern

When you wish to describe the exact outcome or state resulting from an action on a specific item, the 把 construction paired with a result complement is the standard choice.
This pattern is exceptionally common in daily conversation.
It accentuates that the object has undergone an intentional process and reached a definitive state.
Result complements following the verb include verbs or adjectives such as 完 (finished), 好 (properly done), 干净 (clean), 清楚 (clear), 错 (wrong), 对 (correct), 见 (perceived), and 懂 (understood)

1
我把房间打扫干净了。
Wǒ bǎ fángjiān dǎsǎo gānjìng le.
I have cleaned the room clean.
2
请把这个句子写清楚。
Qǐng bǎ zhège jùzi xiě qīngchu.
Please write this sentence clearly.
3
他把我的名字写错了。
Tā bǎ wǒ de míngzi xiě cuò le.
He wrote my name wrong.

•Result complements are commonly paired with sentence-final 了 to mark completed realization.

⚠️ Common Mistakes:

•Do not omit 了 when stating that the result has already taken place.

•Incorrect: 我把饭吃。 → Correct: 我把饭吃完了。 (complement or aspect marker is obligatory)
