易错句子I sat on chair.
正确表达I sat on a chair.
汉语中名词没有冠词系统,学习者容易在可数名词单数前漏掉限定词。chair 是可数名词,表示“一张椅子”时必须说 a chair 或 the chair,不能在没有任何限定词的情况下单独使用。
grammar · medium
易错句子He sat at the chair.
正确表达He sat on the chair.
介词 at 常接桌、台等平面或地点(如 sit at a desk),表示“坐在椅子上”的姿势时用 on(有扶手的椅子也可用 in)。汉语“在椅子上”的“在”容易误译为 at,导致此错。
grammar · medium
易错句子I have two chair.
正确表达I have two chairs.
汉语名词没有单复数变化,英语可数名词在数量大于一时要用复数形式。chair 的复数是 chairs,因此 two chairs 才是正确表达。

stool 指没有靠背的单人坐具,常见为高脚凳或矮凳;chair 则有靠背,因此“椅子”和“凳子”不能互换。
chair 作为名词指会议或委员会的主持人(主席),head 则指部门、机构等的负责人;两者都是领导,但 chair 强调主持会议,head 强调主管身份。
