Advanced potential complements

Nível: HSK 5 | Categoria: Gramática

Explicação da Regra:

You may have a handle on the typical potential complements , but there are a few other fairly common ones that you still need to master. Each is addressed separately here, but for all of them, the preceding character 得 (de) or 不 (bu) is pronounced in the neutral tone . This pattern is used to talk about whether or not you are able to do something. It is subtly different from using "不能 + Verb" because "Verb + 不了" usually suggests some external factor out of one's control. Verb + 得了 / 不了 Note that the character 了 here is pronounced "liǎo."
