易错句子She keies in the sales figures every morning before the meeting.
正确表达She keys in the sales figures every morning before the meeting.
key 以元音字母 + y 结尾,第三人称单数直接在词尾加 -s(key → keys);只有“辅音字母 + y”结尾的动词才先把 y 变 i 再加 -es(如 carry → carries)。keies 是把这条规则用过了头。

表示“用键盘输入”时,key in 是“动词 + 小品词 in”的结构,宾语直接跟在后面:key in sth 或 key sth in。汉语“键入到……”容易让人多写 into,但 into 要求另有宾语(key A into B),本句没有,所以应用 in。
