课程摘要
Place 了 directly after a verb to show the action has been completed. Note: 了 marks completion of an action, NOT past tense.
了 placed after a verb signals that the action has been completed. This is called the completive 了 (动态助词了). Important points:
1. 了 ≠ past tense: Chinese has no tense system. 了 marks completion, which can be in the past, present, or even future context (明天吃了饭再走 = tomorrow, after eating, then leave). 2. The object after Verb+了 is usually accompanied by a quantity or modifier: 买了一本书 (more natural) vs 买了书 (sounds incomplete). 3. To negate: use 没(有) before the verb and DROP 了: 我没吃饭 (NOT 我没吃了饭). 4. Verb+了 mid-sentence signals a completed action BEFORE the next action: 我吃了饭去学校 = After eating, I went to school.
