  <h2 id="structure">Structure</h2>

  <p>Connecting two verb phrases is very straightforward. All you need to do is place <span class="hanzi">来</span> in between them. This has the meaning of doing the first verb to achieve the second verb and is often used with words expressing a way or a method, e.g. "<span class="hanzi">通过</span>" (<span class="pinyin">tōngguò</span>) , "<span class="hanzi">用</span>" (<span class="pinyin">yòng</span>).</p>
