Particle 了 — completion / change of state
Explanation
了 has two roles: (1) After V = completion. 我吃了 ("I ate / have eaten"). (2) End of sentence = change of state / new situation. 太贵了! / 我累了 ("now I'm tired"). Different positions: post-V vs sentence-end.
Examples
- 我买了一个衣服.I bought a piece of clothing.
- 太短了!Too short!
- 我吃饱了.I'm full.
- 商店关了.The shop is closed (now).
