verb + 得/不 + resultative compliment

This potential compliment expresses inability to realize a certain result due to subjective conditions or external circumstances
NOTE: 不能 does not work in this context as it completely changes the meaning of the original sentence that attempts to use ___
EX: 我一會兒都離不開電腦 vs, 我一會兒不能離開電腦，離開了，電腦會出問題
(I can’t tear myself away from my computer, not even for a moment vs. I can’t leave the computer for even a moment. If I do, something will go wrong with the computer)
[The emphasis of the sentence originally is placed onto the speaker itself, once 不能 is used in place of ___, the emphasis is placed onto the computer instead of the speaker]

能 + verb + directional complement/resultative complement / 能 + verb + 得 + compliment

This potential compliment affirms that a certain result will be occur/be accomplished
EX: 你聽的懂老師說的話嗎? → 你能聽懂老師說的話嗎? or 你能聽得懂老師說的話嗎?
Generally, the first 能 complement, “能 + verb + complement”, is much more common than “verb + 得 complement” when it comes to affirmative statements

Side note (not gonna make it its own flashcard): When both the affirmative and negative forms of a potential complement are used to form a question, one can also use affirmative potential complements to reply
EX: 你聽的懂聽不懂老師說得話? (uses the negative and affirmative potential complement forms) → 我聽得懂 (uses affirmative potential complement form to reply)

verb + 得/不 + 了(liǎo)

This kind of potential complement indicates whether subjective or objective conditions permit the realization of a certain action. It also often appears in negative form as well.
EX: 我明天晚上有課，那個演唱會我去_____了。
(I have a class tomorrow evening. I won’t be able to go to the concert.)
NOTE: THIS IS INTERCHANGEABLE WITH “(不)能 + verb”
EX: 我明天晚上有課，那個演唱會我不能去了。
(I have a class tomorrow evening. I won’t be able to go to the concert.)
When the negative form is used as a question, the person asking already assumes the negative outcomes
EX: 那個演唱會你去得了嗎？vs. 那個演唱會你去不了嗎?
(Can you go to that concert vs. You can’t go to that concert anymore?)

好 | hǎo

This resultative complement indicates bringing an action to completion and being ready for the next action
EX: 飯做____了，快來吃吧
(The food is ready. Hurry! Let’s eat!)
It could also mean “well” when used as a complement
EX: 對客人：你們在我家要吃好，婉兒好!
(To guests: You must eat well and have a good time in my house!)

從….到 | còng…dào

phrase | from….to
EX: ____早____晚
(From morning till night)

或者 | huòzhě

gr | or (in a non-interrogative way

看起來 | kàn qǐlái

EX: 她這幾天常常哭，____心情很不好，他到底怎麼了?
(She has been crying a lot in the last few days. It seems she’s in a bad mood. What’s going on with her?)

聽起來 | tīng qǐlái
