[正]don't eat too much meat.
[誤]food in that restaurant is very good.

[析]物質名詞是不可數名詞,在使用中不可以加s,即它沒有復數形式。也不可加不定冠詞。但如果用于特指某一物質時可以加定冠詞。如:i don't like drinking coffee, but the coffee in that cup is really good.
[誤]please give me two waters.
[正]please give me two glasses of water.
[正]please give me two coffees.

a piece of bread,a box of sugar,
a bowl of rice,a bottle of orange,
a bag of earth
例: i'll tell you a piece of good news.
但只有coffee可以用coffees來取代many cups of coffee.
[誤]can you give me the newspaper of today?
[正]can you give me today's newspaper?
[析]加's構成所有格的名詞一般應指有生命的人或物。如:mary's hair,但在英文的習慣用法中對時間、距離等名詞的所有格多用's來構成而不用of結構。如:a five minutes' walk.
[誤]please make a room for the lady in the school bus.
[正]please make room for the lady in the school bus.
[析]英語中更多的名詞是含有多種用法和多種含意的,
如: room為可數名詞時為“房間”,如:i live in room 5.而room為抽象名詞時為空間上面一句話應譯為“請給老婦人在校車上留個地方。”這樣的詞還有:glass 玻璃glasses 眼鏡stone 石頭a stone 一塊石頭time 時間two times 兩次wood 木頭woods 樹林

[誤]my mother bought two fishes for supper this morning.
[正]my mother bought two fish for supper this morning.
[析]英語中有些名詞單復同形,如:fish, deer, sheep, chinese (中國人), means (方法)。所以應講one fish, two fish, one chinese, two chinese. 如果講there are five fishes in the pool.應譯為池中有五種魚而不是五條魚。
[誤]mary expressed her thank to her boy friend.
[正]mary expressed her thanks to her boy friend.
[析]英語中有些名詞只有復數形式,如: thanks, greens, 而有些詞單數形式與復數形式有不同的詞意。如:clothes 為衣服,而cloth則是布, sand沙子,而sands是沙灘。
[誤]i offered my son my congratulation on his success.
