Annotation: From the point of view of language learning, the most important issue is the study of 补语 (complements) in Chinese. For many foreign students who are studying the Chinese Language, 补语 (complement) is an unfamiliar part of the sentence. Usually students easily learn parts of sentence such as "subject", "predicate", "determiner", "adverbial modifier" because of their existence in almost every language.However, 补语 (complement)is socomplicated for students to learnsince it is almost impossible to find complements in any other languages except Chinese. 补语 (complement) is used after an adjective or verb to make the predicate more meaningful. In Chinese object is also used after verb, but there is a difference between object and 补语 (complement): the object usually represents something or someone that is involved in or related to the action, therefore, in most cases they are used as a noun predicative; meanwhile 补语 (complement) is used as a verb predicative which completes the person or thing involved in the action, and gives additional meaning to the predicate.

Keywords: Compliment, Compliment of result, Compliment of direction, Complement of potentiality, Compliment of degree, 见, 住, 着.
