完成态：用动态助词“了”表示
Completed aspect: using the aspect particle "了" to express it
Explanation
In Chinese, we use the particle "了" (le) placed right after a verb to indicate that an action has been completed. It is similar to the past tense in English. To negate it, we use "没" (méi) before the verb and do not use "了". For example: "他买了两个面包" (Tā mǎi le liǎng gè miànbāo) means "He bought two loaves of bread", while "他没买面包" (Tā méi mǎi miànbāo) is "He did not buy bread".
