易错句子I am eight year old.
正确表达I am eight years old.
表示年龄时,eight 后面的 year 必须用复数形式 years;作表语时不用连字符。汉语“我八岁”名词没有复数标记,学习者容易漏掉 -s。改成 years 后句子才符合英语年龄表达。

易错句子There are eight hundreds students in the hall.
正确表达There are eight hundred students in the hall.
hundred、thousand、million 等词前面有具体数字时,即使表示复数也用单数,不能加 -s。汉语“八百个学生”没有单复数变化,容易误写成 hundreds。改为 eight hundred 后,整个数量短语修饰复数名词 students 才正确。

正确表达I get up at eight o'clock every day.
