易错句子The tanner pebble the leather to give it a rough surface.
正确表达The tanner pebbles the leather to give it a rough surface.
主语 The tanner 是第三人称单数，一般现在时的谓语动词必须加 -s，所以要用 pebbles。汉语动词没有人称和数的变化，学习者容易漏掉第三人称单数的 -s。

易错句子The garden path was pebble with smooth stones.
正确表达The garden path was pebbled with smooth stones.
被动语态由 be + 过去分词构成，was 后面必须用过去分词 pebbled，而不能用动词原形 pebble。汉语没有动词形态变化，学习者常直接把原形放在 be 之后。

易错句子The driveway was pebbled by small white stones.
正确表达The driveway was pebbled with small white stones.
表示“用某种材料铺砌/覆盖”时，被动语态用 with 引出材料；by 只用来引出动作的执行者。这里 small white stones 是材料而不是施动者，所以要用 with。汉语“用……铺”常被直译成 by，这是典型的介词误用。
