  <p>......, a 把 construction must have an object of definite reference (shifted now to a pre-verbal position directly after 把); <strong>a complement of some kind after the verb</strong> to

<blockquote>
  <p>把字句 are most often used to describe what happened to the object in some detail. <strong>The verb is not just "bare"; there's "more stuff" after it.</strong> Often the "stuff" is related to some kind of manipulation of the object.</p>

<p>The 把 structure just does not work with a bare verb. Reduplicating the verb also works, as it also adds some information (compliment) to the verb.</p>

<p>In my textbook there's an exercise in which I must decide if a sentence is correct. There's this: 请把这些汉字练. In the answers they say it's incorrect because "lian4" should be reduplicated. Is it really a mistake? I always thought reduplicating a verb is optional, is a matter of what you really want to say (if you want to soften the sentence or not).</p>

请把这些汉字练 sounds incomplete.  请把这些汉字练练 or 请把这些汉字练一练/下 is the right way in this case.
