Common mistakes
After each brush, rinse your mouth.After each brushing, rinse your mouth.
brush 作名词指“刷子”这种工具，而 brushing 才表示“刷”这个动作或一次刷拂。中文“刷”可同时指工具和动作，容易误用；这里想说“每次刷牙/刷洗之后”，要用动作名词 brushing。
He gave his shoes good brushing.He gave his shoes a good brushing.
brushing 表示“一次刷拂”时可数，前面需要不定冠词 a；中文没有冠词概念，所以容易漏掉。a good brushing 是常见搭配，意思是“好好刷一次”。
