易错句子This towel is more dry than that one.
正确表达This towel is drier than that one.
dry 是单音节形容词，比较级直接加 -er 构成 drier，不能用 more dry。英语里单音节（及部分双音节）形容词靠 -er/-est 构成比较级和最高级，more/most 一般只用于多音节形容词；汉语'更干'一律用'更'，学生容易把'更'直译成 more 而套错规则。

易错句子My mother bought a lot of dry fruit for the New Year.
正确表达My mother bought a lot of dried fruit for the New Year.
指'经过晒干、烘干等加工处理的'东西（果干、干香菇、干肉）时，英语用过去分词 dried 作定语，强调处理后的结果；dry 只表示'本身缺乏水分的状态'，不表示'经过干燥加工的'。汉语一个'干'字兼指这两种意思，所以容易把 dried 说成 dry。

易错句子After the shower, I dried my hair by a towel.
正确表达After the shower, I dried my hair with a towel.
表示'使用某种工具'要用介词 with，如 dry sth with a towel；by 用来表示方式或施动者（by bus、written by...），不能引出工具。汉语'用毛巾擦干'的'用'常被直接译成 by，于是造出 by a towel 这种错误搭配。
