Using "de" (modal particle)

The particle 的 (de) is most often a structural particle, but it can also be a sentence-final particle which indicates that the speaker is certain about what he is saying. When it serves this purpose, it's expressing a type of "mood," and thus is called a "modal particle."

Basic Structure

The structure is:

Statement + 的

Frequently the statement will include 会 or 肯定会 to emphasize the speaker's certainty.

Examples

Some examples:

• 我 不 会 骗 你 的。
• 她 肯定 会 来 的。
• 你 这样 说 是 不 对 的。
