Abstract

The grammatical construction with the preposition 把 (bǎ) takes a special position in the modern Chinese language system. It is a characteristic feature of Chinese syntax and plays an important role in expressing the result, control, or change in the state of the object of the action. Importantly, the construction with 把 is a means of explaining the transformation or movement of an object, and also reflects the speaker’s pragmatic intention to emphasize the object and the result of the action, rather than the process itself. 把 does not function as a full-fledged lexeme, but is a function word that introduces a direct object in front of the predicate. Thus, the object of the action is placed before the verb, which does not correspond to the basic word order in Chinese. The construction with 把 is used to express causality and the result of an action, which has no direct analogues in most other languages, including Ukrainian. This leads to a high level of interference from the native language in learners and a significant number of typical grammatical errors. Confusion with 被字句 (bèizìjù) is also common, which, in our opinion, is due to the similarity of the external structure of the sentence, the presentation in textbooks and grammar curricula of related constructions, despite the absolute difference in semantics. The study analyzes the grammatical features of 把句子 (two objects in sentences with 把; the use of 把字句 (bǎ zìjù) with complements; negative sentences with 把; interrogative sentences with 把), typical mistakes most often made by students (violation of word order, incorrect choice of verbs, omission of mandatory elements, generalization of the object), and the reasons for these difficulties were identified. Special attention is paid to methodological approaches to teaching this topic. Effective teaching strategies are proposed: contrastive analysis of traditional word order and sentences with 把, transformation exercises, use of visual aids, and communicative tasks. The results of the study led to the conclusion that a step-by-step and systematic approach to teaching 把句子 is necessary, combining grammatical explanations with active practice in real communicative situations. It was concluded that effective mastery of this construction is an important condition for the formation of students’ communicative competence.
