结果补语2:动词+到/住/走
Resultative complement 2: Verb + 到/住/走
Explanation
This is a type of resultative complement, placed after the verb to indicate the result of the action. Adding '到' (to reach) emphasizes success in obtaining something, e.g. '买到' (managed to buy). '住' (to hold, to grasp) expresses holding firmly or stopping, as in '接住' (caught). '走' (to go) shows movement or removal, e.g. '取走了' (took away). Note that the negative structure usually uses '没' before the verb, e.g. '没接住' (didn't catch).
