Verb + 完 (wán) — Resultative Complement: Finished

If you're working through HSK 2 and want to tell a friend you've finished your meal or ask whether they've done their homework, this live conversation lesson is for you. The pattern Verb + 完 (wán) — Resultative Complement: Finished — lets you signal that an action is complete, and after roughly ten minutes of speaking practice with AI teacher Mei Lin, you'll be using it naturally.

How the Pattern Works

Place 完 (wán) directly after any action verb to show the action is completely finished, then add 了 to confirm it really happened. The key sentence is:

我吃完了 (wǒ chīwán le) — "I've finished eating."

You can also turn it into a question: 作业做完了吗?(zuòyè zuòwán le ma?) — "Have you finished the homework?" Whether you're reporting that you've finished reading, eating, or doing assignments, the structure stays the same: verb, then 完, then optional 了.

What You Practice in the Live Lesson

Mei Lin talks with you out loud in real time — no typing. She asks whether you've finished various tasks, and you respond using the pattern. If your grammar or pronunciation slips, she corrects you in the flow of conversation and adjusts to your level. Each lesson targets one grammar point, so the entire session focuses on Verb + 完 (wán) and nothing else.

When you're ready, you can continue with more HSK 2 lessons or try another HSK 2 live lesson, "Come Over Here" covering 来 (lái).
