the egg was broken by me＝雞蛋 被我 打破了 i broke the egg＝我打破了雞蛋 the egg is broken ＝雞蛋破了

这个有一点像interesting和interested差不多，一个是强调一种状态，它可以改变周围的东西，一个是表达被什么东西影响后的效果。

what's the difference between 破 and 打破。 let's look this sentece: "鸡蛋破了"， it's a status that you found the egg has been broken by something. "我打破了鸡蛋" means you are discribing the status and the action from subject. So you need to say it as "我打破了鸡蛋". thank you.

谢谢！

破represents a state. The egg is broken.这个鸡蛋破了。 打破 is a verb. I broke a egg. 我打破了一个鸡蛋。
