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"
变/Biàn -> To Become/To Change
Biàn is a verb that means "to become" or "to change". Almost always has le at the end, as its signifying a change of state.

- duō chuān diǎn'er literally means "more wear a bit", its a common way to show care by saying to bundle up in cold weather
食物便热了 Shíwù biàn rèle
天气变热了，多喝水 Tiānqì biàn rèle, duō hē shuǐ The weather became hot, drink more water
