Abstract: "V- qilai" is one of the most common constructions in Chinese, in which "V" is mainly acted by action verbs and
psychological verbs, and a small number of existing verbs, but trend verbs cannot be used in this construction. The meaning of "Vqilai"
in the construction becomes gradually empty, and the whole structure has undergone an evolution from expressing the meaning of
movements, the meaning of speculations to the meaning of results, and finally formed a fixed construction. Through analyzing its
grammatical function, it can be seen that this construction can act as the grammatical components of subject, predicate, attributive,
adverbial and complement, and its pragmatic value is multifaceted. In the process of teaching Chinese to speakers of other languages,
the types of errors of "V-qilai" include misuse, and mis-addition, etc. The main causes of errors include negative transfer from mother
tongue and others. For these errors, teaching strategies such as chunk teaching can be adopted.

Key words: "V-qilai", construction, grammaticalization, pragmatic value, errors and teaching strategies
