Long explanation:

The Mandarin Chinese particle '了 (le)' is a verb particle that is used to indicate that an action has been completed. It is similar to the past tense marker in English. This particle is often used after a verb to show that the action mentioned in the verb is finished or completed. '了 (le)' does not indicate tense by itself, only the change or completion of a state.
