Some verbs only describe the subject's perception or mental state towards the object.我听错了明天出发的时间. I misheard tomorrow's departure time.听错 (Verb-Result) isn't what happened to the object (明天出发的时间), but instead is the perception of '我.' Other perception verbs that don't usually work include 看, 闻, and 像 because those verbs seldom affect the object directly, but rather describe perception about the object.我爱上了她. I fell in love with her."爱" is a psychological verb, so it is, by definition, taking place in the mental state of the subject. It's not happening to the object (她). Other psychological verbs you've already learned that don't usually work include 喜欢 - 想 - 怕 - 讨厌 - 担心"What counts as 'adding dressing' to the verb?" -YouAssuming that Condition 3 is met, a reliable rule of thumb is that "adding dressing" covers that which in some way describes a simple verb (e.g., 吃 -> 吃好，放 -> 放在这儿，带 -> 带回来). Don't let the verb and its dressing get separated! Here are a few scenarios:1. Adding a result把这个热狗吃完 Finish eating this hotdog.把手机用坏了Break the phone (through over-use).2. Adding a location把手机放在书桌上 Put the phone on the desk.把钱放在包里 Put the money in the bag.3. Adding a direction把东西带回来 Bring the stuff back.把包扔下去 Throw down the bag.4. Adding quantity to the verb请你把门开一下 Please open the door a moment.他把他的电话号码又说了一次 He once again said his phone number.
