The other function, (b) criticism, description and elaboration from the speaker, which includes his perspectives and opinions as Prof. Liu Yuehua et al (2001) considered these two: "shi... de"（1）and "shi... de"（2）. However, if teachers misguide foreign students, most of foreigners will not be able to understand the grammatical structure, meaning and the function, which cause even more grammatical errors.
