Common mistakes
There are many mails in the mailroom.There is a lot of mail in the mailroom.
mail 在英语中是不可数名词，表示“邮件”时没有复数形式，不能用 many 修饰，也不能加 s。要表达“许多邮件”，应用 much 或 a lot of 修饰不可数名词 mail。
He works in mailroom.He works in a mailroom.
mailroom 是可数名词，单数形式前需要冠词 a/an 或 the。汉语中没有冠词，学习者容易漏掉，所以应说 in a mailroom（或 in the mailroom，取决于语境）。
