Modal particle · 语气助词 (yǔqìzhùcí)(吧 (bā)/了 (le)/吗/呢)
⚠ English trap 母语陷阱
The 了 in 该走了 / 太好了 marks a CHANGE OF STATE (“now it’s different”) — English has no particle like this, so learners either skip it or paste -ed onto it.
Fix: Hear 了 at the end of a sentence as “and now that’s changed”, not as tense.
