Abstract

“Resultative Complement” is a very rich grammatical point in Chinese Language, which is difficult for foreign students to understand because of its variability and flexibility. The purpose of this survey is to investigate the problems and errors that Pakistani students encounter when using result complements in routine discussions. The author conducted a questionnaire survey. There are 12 verbs and adjectives commonly used as resultative complement in this survey. The questionnaire was designed in multiple choice questions (MCQ) format. This paper mainly investigates the collocation of result complement, the use of negation words in result complement sentences, and the substitution of auxiliary particle “了le” by Pakistani students.
