易错句子The cook made three carve from the turkey.

正确表达The cook made three carves from the turkey.

carve 在这里是可数名词，表示“一次雕刻、切下的动作”。汉语名词跟在数词后不加复数标记，而英语可数名词前有 three 时必须用复数形式，所以要用 carves。

易错句子Carve of the wooden duck took him all afternoon.

正确表达The carve of the wooden duck took him all afternoon.

carve 是可数名词，特指某一次具体的雕刻动作时，前面要加定冠词 the。汉语没有冠词这一词类，学习者容易在句首漏掉，故需补上 The。
