Mastering HSK Grammar: Using 都…了
Today, we’ll learn the grammar from HSK-2, Chapter 15. This structure means “already” and is often used to show a strong feeling or complaint.
Grammar Structure:
都…了
When used with time, don’t include the subject.
- 都 + time + 了
- Subject + 都 + predicate + 了
The predicate can be a verb or an adjective.
Examples:

- 这条裙子她都穿了,你穿新的吧。
- 我都给他打了3次电话,他还没回我。
- 都十二点了,我还是睡不着。
- 小丽的衣服都洗了。
