把把 bǎ or Not Practice

The 把 bǎ construction moves the object in front of the verb: 把 + object + verb (+ result).

It’s used when a sentence describes what happens to a specific, already-known thing — moving it, placing it, finishing it off, breaking it. A general or brand-new object doesn’t get 把, so not every sentence below actually needs one.

Tap the tiles below to build each sentence yourself. A 把 tile is included every time, even when the sentence doesn’t need it, so you have to decide for yourself whether it belongs. Follow along as Rob, Sam, and Jonathan make dumplings at Tiffany’s.
