<p>In this context 得 should be used. It works as a <a href="https://resources.allsetlearning.com/chinese/grammar/Degree_complement" rel="nofollow noreferrer">degree complement</a>, and takes as a form of "verb + 得 + adjective". The phrase after 得 expresses the degree of the adjective.</p>

<p>So in this case,</p>

<p>得 is probably ok, but I would use 了 or 过 for this context. It would become 虽然练习做 <strong>了</strong>（or 过）很多，但是我还是不懂。</p>

<p>得 is used for leading a degree complement, while 了 is used for the completion of a verb. </p>

<p>Logically, putting 了 or 过 as a completion is more appropriate I think. The logic is that although you <strong>have done(了)</strong> lots of practices, you still can not get it. </p>

<p><strong>"的" follow by a noun,</strong> like "她的妈妈"，"美妙的天空"</p>

It should be '得'

In "做 (得) 很多", '得' functions as an "(degree/extend) particle" that indicate the degree or extend of the verb.

'很多'(a lot) is the degree or extend of the verb

Example:

"做得多/ 做得少"

* 做 (verb)
* 得 (particle that indicate the degree of the verb)
* 多(a lot); 少(little) [*degree*]

More example:

"跑得快/ 跑得慢"

* 跑(verb)
* 得(particle that indicate the degree of the verb)
* 快(fast) ; 慢(slow) [*degree*]

Some people using 的 instead of 得 in this role because the two words sound similar.

Look at the follow sentences, and you can see 的 and 得 are not interchangeable

> '要做的很多'

* '要做' means 'need to do'
* '要做的' means 'things need to be done'(pronoun)
* '要做的(事)很多' means "a lot (of things) to do"

> '要做得很多'

* 要做= verb
* 得 = (particle that indicate the degree of the verb)
* 很多 (degree)

It means "need to do a lot"

In this context 得 should be used. It works as a [degree complement](https://resources.allsetlearning.com/chinese/grammar/Degree_complement), and takes as a form of "verb + 得 + adjective". The phrase after 得 expresses the degree of the adjective.

So in this case,

> 虽然练习做**得**很多，但是我还是不懂。

, where 得 expresses the degree of "做" is "很多".

You shall also refer to [this question](https://chinese.stackexchange.com/questions/89/%E7%9A%84-%E5%9C%B0-%E5%BE%97-when-do-you-use-which), which explain the difference betwen 的, 得, and 地.

得 is used for leading a degree complement, while 了 is used for the completion of a verb.

Logically, putting 了 or 过 as a completion is more appropriate I think. The logic is that although you **have done(了)** lots of practices, you still can not get it.

得。

A little trick when I learned "的，地，得" in school.

**"的" follow by a noun,** like "她的妈妈"，"美妙的天空"

**"地" follow by verb**, like "用力地哭", "开心地笑"

"得" f**ollow by terms to describe the "action" or verb in front of the "得"**, like your example： "练习做得很多", "扫得真干净"...
