易错句子We had a dinner at a new restaurant last night.
正确表达We had dinner at a new restaurant last night.
表示"吃晚饭"这一日常用餐行为时，dinner 是不可数名词，前面不能加不定冠词 a。只有指"一场正式的晚宴、宴会"这类具体活动时，才可以用 a dinner。本句说的是平常的吃饭行为，所以要去掉 a。

易错句子Let's dinner together tonight.
正确表达Let's have dinner together tonight.
dinner 只作名词，不能直接当动词使用。汉语"一起吃晚饭"的"吃"在英语里要靠动词表达，所以必须补上 have（或 eat）构成 have dinner 这一搭配，而不是把 dinner 单独当动词。

易错句子I usually watch TV in dinner.
正确表达I usually watch TV during dinner.
表示"在吃晚饭这段时间里"要用 during dinner（或用 at dinner），介词 in 不能与进餐这一活动搭配。“in” 用于较大的时间范围（如 in the morning）或"在……之内"，不能表示"在用餐过程中"。
