The structural particle \u5730 (de), which contains the components \u571f (t\u01d4) and \u4e5f (y\u011b), acts like the suffix \u201c-ly\u201d in English. To put it in simple terms,  \u5730 changes adjectives into adverbs to describe how an action is done, indicating its manner, mood, or method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This particle is often confused with the characters \u7684 and \u5f97, which share the same pronunciation (de) but serve very different grammatical functions. You can watch a video explaining the key differences between \u7684, \u5730, and \u5f97<\/a>, as well as other HSK-related grammar tutorials.<\/p>\n\n\n
