Good work!

find yourself a good book. if not...any book. :)

An easier way of understanding potential complement "de" is this: Subject+verb+"de"+adverb or Subject+object+verb+"de"+adverb Such as: ta(he) ting(hear, listen) de dong(understand). He can understand what he heard. ta(he) cai(dish, food) zuo(do) de hao(good, well). He cooks well. Yes, the use of "de(得)" is really advanced grammar! I know some people who have studied chinese for years and actually can speak chinese but still find it hard to understand. Purtroppo, we use it constantly...
