易错句子They bought a land near the river to build a house.
正确表达They bought land near the river to build a house.
表示“土地、地产”这一意义时，land 是不可数名词，前面不能加不定冠词 a；a land 的意思是“一个国家或地区”，与想表达的“买地”不符。若要指“一块土地”，可以说 a piece of land。

易错句子The children sat on the land and had a picnic.
正确表达The children sat on the ground and had a picnic.
汉语“地上”指人身边的那块地面，英语用 ground；land 指大片陆地或作为财产的土地，不指脚下坐着的那块地面，所以此处不能用 land。
grammar · medium
易错句子This region has many land but few people.
正确表达This region has a lot of land but few people.
land 作“土地”讲时不可数，不能像可数名词复数那样用 many 修饰；应改用 a lot of / lots of（much land 语法上也成立，但偏书面）。
ground 指人或物接触的地表、场地，常与 on 连用；land 指与海洋相对的陆地或成片土地，也可指地产，通常不指脚下的一层表面。两者在“土地”义上偶尔都能译作“地”，但 ground 更强调表面，land 更强调成片土地或所有权。
earth 作“泥土”时指可挖掘的土壤物质，作“地球”时指行星（常带 the）；land 指陆地、国土或地产，不表示行星，也不强调泥土这种物质。谈脚下表面时用 ground，谈土壤物质时用 earth。
soil 是农业、园艺语境中的土壤，常谈肥力、质地、酸碱度；land 是成片陆地、土地或地产，不把土壤当作可分析的物质来称说。
