RULE (in English): Explain the difference in usage between the "Three De's": 的, 得, 地. Give examples of each.
The structural particle "de" has THREE FORMS in modern Chinese. Each "de" functions to connect a description to what it's describing. The "de" has no meaning in itself. However, the three "de's" are used in different ways.
Memorize these sentence patterns:
的 = de = 【description + 的 + NOUN】
得 = de = 【VERB/ADJ + 得 + description】
地 = de = 【description + 地 + VERB】
Or try these even simpler patterns:
【的 + NOUN】
【VERB + 得】
【ADJ + 地 + VERB】
