How to use 得分
得分 works as a verb for scoring in games or tests, and as a noun for the score or rating itself. You will see it in sports news, exam results, and online reviews. Example: 他这场比赛得了二十分。(Tā zhè chǎng bǐsài dé le èrshí fēn.) He scored twenty points in this game.
得 (dé) means to get, and 分 (fēn) means a point or mark. When you get points, you score: 得分 (défēn).
Common mistake: Learners often read 得 here as the neutral-tone de from 觉得 (juéde) or the structural particle in 跑得快. In 得分 it is always dé with a second tone, just like in 得到 (dédào).
