How do you use the particle 得?

Most commonly, 得 is used in degree complements, following the structure verb + 得 + degree complement. Degree complements normally express how a verb happened or assesses its quality.For example, in the sentence 你画得很好, we have the verb - 画, to draw, the particle 得 and the degree to which the verb was done - 很好, meaning very well. As such, the complement acts like an adverb. 得, however, can also appear in other types of complements, such as resultative complements.
