HSK 3 可能补语1：动词+得/不+动词/形容词；动词+得/不+了

可能补语1：动词+得/不+动词/形容词；动词+得/不+了

Potential complements: verb + 得/不 + result

⚠ English trap 母语陷阱

English “can/can’t” fronts the modal. Chinese 可能补语 fuses it AFTER the verb: 听不懂 = can’t understand, 买不到 = can’t buy — learners write 不能听懂 to translate “can’t”.

Fix: V + 不 + result for inability; V + 得 + result for “can manage”.

Pattern 句型

可能补语1：动词+得/不+动词/形容词；动词+得/不+了

How it works 讲解

Slot 得 or 不 between verb and result to say whether it CAN happen: 听得懂 / 听不懂, 找得到 / 找不到. The object moves before the verb: 汉语我听不懂.
