combined directional complements 回去 /来 (back) BACK TO can all be used in the above 把 sentences.

3) 得 (complement of degree) constructions
4) 一下 (or 一 verb)
5) Time/action measures

4. Apart from a subject of a sentence, what other elements can be placed before 把?
The following should be placed before 把:
Modal verbs or auxiliary verbs such as 想, 要, 能, 会, 可以 and 应该
Adverbs such as 常常, 总是, 都, 也and 已经
Negatives. The negative form for 把 sentences is 没有 or 别. 不 can only be used in hypothetical conditional sentences. For example
yàoshi nĭ bù bă jīntiān de hàn zi xué hăo wŏ jiù bu gĕi nī chī fàn
要 是 你 不把 今天 的 汉 字 学 好, 我 就 不 给 你 吃 饭。
IF YOU NOTBA TODAY DE CHINESE WORDS STUDY WELL I JIU NOT GIVE YOU EAT MEAL
If you don't learn today's Chinese characters, I won't give you a meal.
5. Where should the negation 不 be placed if the 得 (complement of degree) construction is used a 把 sentence?
The negative 不 is normally placed before adverbs in 得 (complement of degree) sentences. For example:
zuótiān tā fángjiān zhĕnglĭ de bù hăo
昨天 他 房间 整理 得 不 好。
YESTERDAY HE ROOM TIDY DE NOT GOOD
He didn't tidy the room well yesterday.
If 把 is involved in 得 (complement of degree) sentences, 没 should be placed before 把, instead of putting the negative 不 before the adverb 好:
zuótiān tā méi bă fángjiān zhĕnglĭ dehĕn hăo
昨天 他 没 把 房间 整理 得 很 好。
YESTERDAY HE NOT BA ROOM TIDY DE VERY GOOD
This sentence places more emphasis than previous one on the object 房间.
The following words can be placed either before 把 or before main verbs.
Adverbs which are used to describe actions such as 认真地...
Co-verbs (or prepositions) such as 为, 从, 跟...一起...
There are two patterns for the 把 construction, as demonstrated in the following sections.(on the next page)
6. Sometimes a 把 sentence contains only a simple main verb and the particle 了. Does that mean that any simple verb + 了 can be used in 把 sentences?
No, it doesn't always work in this way. 了has two functions here:
Its meaning is similar to the resultative complements 完 (to complete) 好 (to be satisfactory) 走 (to be away) and 掉 (to get rid of)
It still plays the role of the particle for completed action. You will often see this usage in colloquial language,
tā bă jiŭ hē le
他 把 酒 喝 了。
HE BA WINE DRINK LE
He has finished up the wine.
The full form of the above sentence will be
他把酒喝完了 or 他把酒喝掉了。
7. Is it right that the 把 construction can only be used for real objects, and not for abstract objects?
No, it can be used for both real as well as abstract objects,
Physical object:
tā bă nà bĕn shū kàn wán le
她 把 那 本 书 看 完 了。
SHE BA THAT BEN BOOK READ FINISH LE
She has finished reading that book.
Abstract object:
nĭ bă zhè jiàn shì bàn yí xià
你 把 这 件 事 办 一 下。
YOU BA THIS JIAN MATTER DEAL YIXIA
Could you deal with that matter?
