01 / PATTERN

See the Structure

MODEL

看/瞧 + 把 + Person + Verb/Adjective + 得 + Degree or Result

Read the structure

The spoken 看把 or 瞧把 frame comments on an addressee's or another person's unusually intense state or action. 把 introduces the person being evaluated, and 得 introduces the degree or resulting condition. The frame expresses speaker stance, often an exhortation or warning. Keep the model 看/瞧 + 把 + Person + Verb/Adjective + 得 + Degree or Result visible while you compare each sentence.

看把你累得!

Look how exhausted you are!

Choose the right context

React to a person's visibly extreme state or action. Use 得 to name the degree or resulting condition. Use it as a spoken exclamation or warning with clear context.

瞧把孩子高兴得!

Look how happy the child is!

Respect the boundary

Do not treat 把 as an ordinary object-disposal marker here. Do not omit the person after 把. Do not label every 看 or 瞧 sentence as this construction.

看把累你得!

(Look 把 tired you de.)

Repair the pattern

The person is missing after 把: 把 must introduce the person whose state is being evaluated before the degree predicate. 得 is placed before the predicate: The degree marker 得 follows the verb or adjective describing the person's state.

看把你累得!

Use the repaired structure without changing the intended meaning.

看/瞧把NP V得 Questions

Is this the same 把 as in 把门关上?

No. Here 把 introduces the person whose state is being evaluated in a spoken exclamation; it is not ordinary object disposal.

Does 得 always mean a result?

It can introduce a degree or a resulting state. The context determines whether the speaker is describing intensity, consequence, or both.
