In this video, I will introduce 30 Verb-Object Type separable words of HSK level 1.
A Chinese separable word is a single word, but it can be separated into two parts. Other words can be placed between these 2 parts, including the aspect particles 着/了/过, measure word phrases, pronouns, and nouns, etc.
Let's take a look.

1. 见面 is a Verb-Object Type Separable Word - 动宾型离合词.
   见两次面: The numeral-measure word phrase(两次) can be placed between the verb and the object.
2. ⚠️⛔ 见面我: Separable words usually do not take an object.
   The object 我 cannot follow the separable word "见面", because 见面 already has its own object. 我 can be placed in a prepositional phrase. "跟我见面" - 跟 is a preposition, followed by the object 我.
3. 考试 is also a Verb-Object Type Separable Word(动宾型离合词).
   考不了试: When used after the verb, 不了 is the potential complement to indicate whether the action can achieve a certain result.
4. 放了学: The aspect particle 了 is put after the verb to express the completion of an action.
5. 放了七天的假: The aspect particle 了 goes after the verb 放. 七天的假 means "a seven-day break". The numeral-measure word phrase 七天的 is used as an attributive to modify the object "假".
6. 请一天假 means "ask for one day off". The measure word phrase 一天 is between the verb and the object.
7. 请过两次假: The aspect particle 过 goes after the verb, indicating that an action has been experienced in the past.
8. 读过那本汉语书: 过 is an experienced action marker after the verb. The measure word phrase 那本 and the noun 汉语 are used as an attributive before the object 书. "那本汉语书" means "that Chinese book".
9. 走了这么远的路: The phrase "这么远的" is used as the attributive of "路".
10. ⚠️⛔ 看病过几次 is a wrong expression.
    过 should be placed right after the verb part.
11. 生了一场大病: "一场大病" means "a serious illness".
12. 生了什么病？
    The question word "什么" is placed before the object part to raise a question.
13. ⚠️⛔ 生气谁？: This is a common mistake. The separable verb "生气" can not take the object "谁". "谁的" should be placed between the verb and the object.
14. ⚠️⛔ 生气我: "我的" should be placed before the object part 气.
15. ⚠️⛔ 睡觉得晚，起床得早: This sentence is incorrect.
    When a separable verb is followed by a state complement, the verb part should be reduplicated and be placed right after the separable verb.
16. ⚠️⛔ 大睡觉了: "一大觉" means "a deep sleep".
17. The potential complements 得着 and 不着 are used directly after the verb part.
18. 和他说过话: "和他" is a prepositional phrase. The aspect particle 过 goes after the verb, not the object.
19. ⚠️⛔ 唱歌得很好: The state complement 很好 can't follow the separable verb directly.
    The verb part 唱 should be reduplicated right after the separable verb.
20. 帮了我很多忙: "很多忙" means "many favors".
21. ⚠️⛔ 帮忙帮忙 is an wrong expression.
    The reduplication of separable verbs is different from that of general verbs. You only need to reduplicate the verb part, for example: 帮帮忙. The pattern is "Verb + Verb + Object".
22. ⚠️⛔ 上班不了: The potential complement "不了" goes after the verb part.
23. 上错车: The result complement "错" goes after the verb part.
24. 他走时正下着雨。
    The aspect particle 着 is used after the verb to express the continuous aspect.
25. ⚠️⛔ 下雨起来: When used with the separable word, the direction complement 起来 also should be separated.
26. 有什么名？: The question word "什么" goes before the noun to raise a question.
27. 开着一辆新车: 着 is used after the verb to express the continuous aspect.
