The 把 bǎ construction moves the object in front of the verb:
Subject + (Adverb / Modal) + 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, or handling an urgent situation. Remember that negation words (like 沒 or 別) and modal verbs (like 得) always go before把.
