刚刚谈的错误是不可有-s而用-s。另一种错误是应该有 -s而不用-s。虽然后者不像前者这样麻烦,但是也不难看到。下面三个不同的广告中便出现了应该有-s但漏了-s的名词:
⑥We are looking for suitable candidate to take up the following positions.(应为 candidates)。
⑦Dear customer: Have you been misled by too many brochure?(应为 brochures)。
⑧We specialise in rubber tile for factory, office, warehouse, etc.(应为 rubber tiles, factories, offices, warehouses)
⑥-⑧里的错误显而易见,只要稍微小心,便不难发现而改正过来。但是,有关不可数名词加-s的错误,则较难躲闪,必须加倍警惕才好。其中一个防患办法是借重量词,反映不可数名词之量 ,但不改变其形,即不要用-s,如:
⑨ There isnt much petroleum in the car.
⑩ John gave some evidence to indicate that the documents had been tampered with.
11. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
12. A lot of money has been donated to various charity organisations.
13. Some people today paid little attention to their extravagant acts.
