- <p>The verb 来 (lái) can be used as a "dummy verb," similar to the
- way "do" is used in English.</p>
- <h2 id="structure">Structure</h2>
- <p>The structure for using 来 as a dummy verb is very basic. Usually
- it is a very short phrase, kind of like "your turn!," "let me give
- it a shot!," or "you do it!" in English. Usually it is used with 你
- or 我 as the subject, and it ends with the 来. Sometimes it can end
- with a 吧.</p>
- <p>A scenario: Imagine you are with your some friends making
- dinner. There is a bottle of Chinese pickles that you want to open,
- but can't because the lid is so tight. You start passing it around
- to see who can open it, and no one is able to, until your
- body-builder friend comes in and says, "我来!" He is saying, "Let me
- do it!"</p>
