易错句子I need to buy desktop for my office.
正确表达I need to buy a desktop for my office.
desktop 作“台式电脑”讲时是可数名词单数，前面必须加不定冠词 a/an。汉语“买台式电脑”不体现冠词，所以容易漏掉；此处指一台电脑，应说 a desktop（若指多台则用 desktops）。

易错句子My files are in the desktop.
正确表达My files are on the desktop.
表示电脑的“桌面”（屏幕上显示图标和窗口的区域）时，介词要用 on 而不是 in：文件、图标是显示在桌面这个平面“上”的。汉语“在桌面上”的方位词“上”正好对应 on；in the desktop 会被理解为在电脑内部，因此错误。

易错句子This shop sells many desktop.
正确表达This shop sells many desktops.
desktop 是可数名词，被 many、several、two 等数量词修饰时必须用复数形式 desktops。汉语名词没有单复数变化，所以容易照搬单数 desktop。
