把 + object + V (phrase), literally "take X and do Y to it"

(I find these quite satisfying, weird as they are. Also, there is a LOT of miscellaneous information (and even a quiz) on this page, let me know if you want two days on it.)

词汇
春节, Lunar New Year (well, we're only a few weeks late); 春天, spring 春节 chūnjié, Lunar New Year; 春天 chūntiān, spring

Guardian:
你把我当成什么人了， what kind of person do you take me for?
要不我把手机号线给您留着, how about I give you my phone number
地星里不常见到花草，可有华玉柱的身边，到处都成了春天, there weren't many flowers to be seen in Dixing, but around Hua Yuzhu, it was spring everywhere

Me:
听见没有，把手机给我 (LTR, more or less)
到春天我才能把新植物准备。

让青春吹动了你的长发 ...

I guess I'm quoting song lyrics for all the vocabulary now. *g*

ETA: That quiz is nice!

I actually found this really helpful! I understand 把 constructions when I hear them, but I always avoid using them because I've never felt like I really understood when they were necessary, and the page does a good job of explaining that. I'd still have trouble coming up with my own examples without screwing up the grammar somewhere, I think, and as usual I'm perplexed by 了, but this was a nice breakdown of the kinds of cases when you actually need to use 把. And the quiz was neat -- I wish there were more pages with quizzes!

Same on all counts! (了 oh dear.) Maybe we should make it a project to come up with some practice quizzes?
