Tips

grammar

Verb-result compound: 长 (grow) + 满 (full). 满 is the resultative complement saying the growth has filled the surface. Object follows directly: 长满了 + [thing growing].

mistakes

长 here is zhǎng ('to grow'), not cháng ('long'). Wrong tone changes the meaning completely.

Stroke Order

长 cháng

满 mǎn
