Indicating the ability to reach a conclusion or result--可能补语

上个月我们学会了"结果补语" Indicating the result of conclusion of an action,否定句 "沒"

• 我看懂了.--->我沒看懂了.
• 我找到了.--->我沒找到了
• 我做完了.--->我沒做完了

1. 今天我们要学一个新的文法 " 可能补语" ---Indicating the ability to reach a conclusion or result. Verb+ 得+ complement.
2. To indicate that  it is not possible to reach a conclusion or result,we use Verb+ 不+ complement.可能补语的否定句是"不"

Look at the table below:

This is the result of the action, it has been completed	There is a capability to complete the action. It may or may not have taken place already	There is no capability to complete the action, the negative of the column to the left
V+得+Complement      Negative 不
結果补语 Negative 沒	可能补语	否定句
看見  沒看見	看得見	看不見
看懂   沒看懂 听懂  沒听懂	看得懂 听得懂	看不懂 听不懂
写完  沒写完	写得完	写不完
吃完  沒吃完	吃得完	吃不完
记住  沒记住	记得住	记不住
听到  沒听到	听得到	听不到
找到  沒找到	找得到	找不到
买到  沒买到	买得到	买不到
走到  沒走到	走得到	走不到

赶上  沒赶上

赶得上

赶不上

tip : we learned about the difference between  “没",“不"

“没" uses for past tense “不"uses for present and future tense.

Therefore the  complement of result should use 没 and complement of possibility should use “不"

For example (可能补语 )

1. 走得到:学校就在我家附近,我一定(definitely)走得到.School is near by , I could walk there..Talk about possibility.
2. 听得懂:今天的语法(Grammar point)很难,你听得懂吗?Today's grammar point is rather difficult, Could you understand?)
   

         A :我听得懂.( I could understand. or 我听懂了.I understood)
 
         B :我听不懂.(I could not understand------ you weren't able to understand--- environmental problem, material maybe too advanced or too hard.) 
            
結果补语 Negative 沒
        C :我没听懂.(I didn't understand.----You are able to understand but you did not get it---personal problem-- you are not paying attention or you need to practice more.)
