将

将 — formal disposal marker (= 把)

Pattern

+ + +
( ) can be left out · other words may come before, between and after

How it works

将 is the formal, written-style equivalent of the disposal 把: it moves the object in front of the verb to say what is done to it. Its register is literary; in speech 把 is used instead. (将 separately also works as an adverb "about to.")
