离合词 separable disyllabic verbs

Some disyllabic verbs in the Chinese language are separable; one can insert other elements between them. These verbs are called separable verbs. The majority of separable verbs are composed of the “V+O” structure, such as ”游泳，吃饭，起床，睡觉，开学，上课，发烧，看病，住院，开车，打的，罚款，过期，排队，化妆“， which we have learned in previous lessons, and ”说话，聊天“in this lesson.
他没有游过泳。
老师说了很长时间的话。
他在银行排了两次队。
我想在这儿聊一会儿天。
我朋友帮了我的忙。

Notes:

(1) separable verbs usually cannot take objects. For example, you cannot say:“朋友帮忙我”。
（2）time—measure complements or action-measure complements can only be used between the two parts of a separable verb; never after it. For example, you cannot say“老师说了很长时间。”“他在银行排队了两次。”
The reduplication form of the separable verb of the “V+O” structure is “AAB”, “A—AB”, OR “A 了 AB”. For example, “散散步，聊一聊天，游了游泳“。
