Definition
受到 (shòudào) means 'to receive, to be treated' and is used with abstract things like praise, education, or punishment. It differs from 受 (shòu), which can also mean 'to suffer' and can be placed directly before verbs to form a passive meaning (e.g., 受欢迎 'to be popular'). 受到 is more formal and always takes a noun object.
