变化态：用动态助词“了”表示
Change of state: using the aspect particle '了' to express it
Explanation
The particle '了' is placed right after a verb or an adjective to indicate a change of state or the completion of an action. For example, '她病了' (she got sick) implies that she was not sick before but is sick now, showing a change. To negate it, we use '没' instead of '了', as in '她没病' (she is not sick). This structure is very basic for expressing situations that have happened or states that have changed.
