的、地、得

We had touched a little bit of the different use of the three characters.

When they are used as a 助词 grammatical particle word, they are all pronounced without 4 tones of Chinese - 轻声 （de).

的

Normally used to describe a thing, so it's followed by a noun.

例如 i.e. 蓝蓝的天， 热闹的晚会。

地

Normally used to describe an action/movement, so it's followed by a verb.

例如： 快快地跑，高兴地唱歌。

得

Normally used after a verb(动词) or an adjective (形容词)or adverb(副词).

例如：跑得快， 唱得好。
