Tell someone what you finished
IntroducedA useful situation
- Your goal: Describe a completed action and its result clearly.
- Before you start, recall the words you already know. New words below are here to help, not a list you must master before continuing.
Words you will use
- object-disposal marker here把 bǎ — object-disposal marker here. I / me我object-disposal marker here把homework作业to write写to finish完(completed / change)了。
- homework作业 zuòyè — homework. homework作业很多。
- to write写to finish完 xiě wán — finish writing. I / me我to write写to finish完(completed / change)了。
- find successfully找到 zhǎo dào — find successfully. I / me我find successfully找到book书(completed / change)了。
- hand in交 jiāo — hand in. I / me我object-disposal marker here把homework作业to give交给teacher老师。
Match each word with its meaning in this unit.
Use the example sentences to check each word’s meaning in context.
Build the meaning
- With object-disposal marker here把, put a known object before what happens to it: I / me我object-disposal marker here把homework作业to write写to finish完(completed / change)了. The sentence tells what was done to that homework.
- Result complements identify the outcome: to write写to finish完 means finish writing; find successfully找到 means find successfully. A verb alone may not establish the result.
Do not place object-disposal marker here把 before any noun automatically. This lesson uses a known object and an action that affects it.
Complete “finish writing”: 我把作业写____了。
完 marks completion of the writing.
Listen for a fresh detail
- Listen before revealing the script.
- Replay if you need to. This is practice: if playback is unavailable, use the script as reading and return to listening on a device with Mandarin playback.
Show the listening script and meaning
I / me我object-disposal marker here把homework作业to give交给teacher老师(completed / change)了，but但是still / also还not / haven't没find successfully找到book书。
I have handed the homework to the teacher, but have not found the book.
Which result is complete?
交给老师了 is complete; 还没找到书 denies finding the book.
Read a different account

- The reading and listening have different details. Use the material for the question you are answering.
- Read once for the situation, then again for the relevant detail. Reveal help when needed.
Show the reading meaning
Lin An searches for ten minutes and finally finds the book. She finishes the homework but has not handed it to the teacher. Wang Li is still writing.
What has Lin An not yet done?
还没交给老师 denies handing it in, not writing it.
Speak, write, and review
- Report two tasks: one finished, one unfinished. Your partner checks which needs doing next.
- Record yourself privately or work with a partner. First try without the model, then compare the meaning and structure; a text checker cannot assess your pronunciation.
A: I / me我object-disposal marker here把homework作业to write写to finish完(completed / change)了，but但是still / also还not / haven't没hand in交。 B: that那early先hand in交homework作业(suggestion)吧。
- Write a short progress message with a completed result and a remaining task.
- Tomorrow, recall two words and repeat the task with one detail changed. Revisit it after a few days; return sooner to the part that felt difficult.
Describe a completed action and its result clearly. Use the examples as support, then try a fresh version. Completing these exercises records practice, not a guarantee of mastery.
