易错句子My grandmother kitchens lunch for us every day.
正确表达My grandmother cooks lunch for us every day.
汉语"厨房"是名词，很多学习者把它直接当动词用来表示"做饭"。英语日常说"做饭、做一顿饭"要用 cook；kitchen 作动词只表示"在厨房里干活、备餐"这类罕用义，不用于日常做饭。因此只需把 kitchens 换成 cooks，句子其余部分不变。

易错句子He has kitchenned in that restaurant for ten years.
正确表达He has kitchened in that restaurant for ten years.
kitchen 重音在第一个音节 KIT-chen，结尾的 -en 是非重读弱读音节；双写末尾辅音字母只发生在"重读闭音节结尾"的情况，所以这里加 -ed/-ing 时不双写 n。学习者常按双写规则过度类推写出 kitchenned，正确形式是 kitchened、kitchening。
