What Are Chinese Verb Complements?

Chinese verb complements add information about the direction, result, possibility or degree of an action.

Chinese verb complements add information after a verb. They can show where an action goes, what result it reaches or whether it can be completed.

Visible video actions make these patterns easier to understand than isolated grammar rules. Watch the action, listen to the complete phrase and then use the same structure in a new sentence.
