易错句子There are three castle in this old town.
正确表达There are three castles in this old town.
castle 是可数名词，前面有 three 这类数量词时必须用复数形式 castles。汉语名词本身不变形，只靠数词“三座”表数量，所以学习者常常忘记加 -s。

易错句子We arrived the castle at noon.
正确表达We arrived at the castle at noon.
arrive 是不及物动词，后接地点要先加介词 at（较小的地点）或 in（较大的地点）。汉语“到达城堡”直接跟宾语，受此影响容易把介词丢掉。

易错句子My little brother wants to be a knight and live in castle.
正确表达My little brother wants to be a knight and live in a castle.
可数名词单数在句中不能单独出现，必须有限定词；这里指不确定的“一座”，要用不定冠词 a。汉语靠量词“一座”表泛指，没有冠词系统，因此常被漏掉。
