易错句子I bought some peppermint.
正确表达I bought some peppermints.
当 peppermint 指“薄荷糖”时是可数名词,some 后要用复数形式 peppermints;如果把 peppermint 当作不可数名词,就变成“我买了些薄荷”的意思,与想表达“买糖”不符。

易错句子This candy tastes peppermint.
正确表达This candy tastes like peppermint.
taste 是连系动词,后面接形容词或介词短语作表语,不能直接接名词。peppermint 是名词,所以想说“尝起来有薄荷味”要用 tastes like peppermint(或 tastes of peppermint)。
