student.

Xiǎo Wáng zhēn shì yí ge hǎo xuésheng. 可
kě is placed before the linking verb 是
shì in the above sentence to reinforce a statement. For instance, 这 可 是 一 辆 好 车 啊

this is actually a very good bike, or 老 王 可 不 是 一 个 好 人

not a very good person. 可
kě can also be placed before modal verbs such as 想
xiǎng and 喜 欢
xǐhuān to emphasise desires and feelings. For instance, 他 可 想 吃 中 国 菜 了

he
would really like to eat some Chinese food. 可
kě is placed before stative verbs to reinforce them, as in 我 可 忙了
wǒ kě máng le
I am busy. In this usage 了 le is often placed at the end of affirmative sentences.
