Forming a result complement with 好 has a very similar meaning to forming one with 完. It expressed that the action has been completed successfully.

When using result complements, it's very common to make the object a topic. This means the object is said first and the subject is often omitted:

Object + Verb + 好 + 了

Some examples:

  • 你的 作业 做 了 吗?
  • 饭 吃 了。
  • 水果 买 了。

As with all result complements, the -好 result complement works particularly well in a 把 sentence.
