+# Notes on 了/le 
+
+If a sentence is simple, always try to put le at the end of the sentences, not neccesarily at the end of a verb.
+
+- nǐ qùle gòuwù ma? -> WRONG
+
+- nǐ qù gòuwù le ma?​ -> RIGHT
+
+Why? We think it relates to entire action being completed, but its really more of just "it sounds right"​ 
+
+
+
