#REDIRECT [[structural particle "de"]]
 
 
The structural particle "de" has three written forms in modern Chinese, each with its own uses:
 
 
 
* The [[De (structural particle)#的|structural particle 的]] (most often used for modifying nouns)
 
* The [[De (structural particle)#得|structural particle 得]] (most often used with complements)
 
* The [[De (structural particle)#地|structural particle 地]] (most often used for adverbial phrases)
 
 
 
There is also a [[De (modal particle)|modal particle 的]].

: ''See also: [[De (structural particle)#的|structural particle 的]]''
 
 
 
的 is known as '''baishao de''' in Chinese as it's composed of the characters 白 and 勺. It's used to mark '''possession''' or '''modification'''. One way to think about 的 is that it works like '''''s'''' in English (apostrophe s), e.g.
 
 
 
: <span style="liju">Xiaoli''''s''' house</span>
 
 
 
: <span style="liju">小李'''的'''房子</span>
