易错句子There are many moulds on the bread.
正确表达There is a lot of mould on the bread.
表示“霉菌”时 mould 是不可数名词，不能加 -s，也不能用 many 修饰，应说 a lot of / much / some mould。汉语说“很多霉菌”不带复数标记，容易误加复数。

易错句子My father is a good mould for me.
正确表达My father is a good model for me.
指“榜样、模范”要用 model，不能用 mould；mould 指“模具、铸模”或“霉菌”。汉语的“模”既指模具也指模范，容易迁移误用。

易错句子The factory bought three new mould last month.
正确表达The factory bought three new moulds last month.
指“模具、铸模”时 mould 是可数名词，前面有 three 这类数词时必须用复数 moulds。汉语名词没有复数形式，容易漏掉 -s。
