易错句子We need pipeline to carry gas to the factory.
正确表达We need a pipeline to carry gas to the factory.
pipeline 是可数名词，指一条具体的管道时，单数形式不能单独出现，前面必须加不定冠词 a/an（或定冠词 the）。汉语的“管道”没有冠词，可以直接说“我们需要管道运煤气”，所以学习者容易漏掉 a。改为 a pipeline 就符合英语可数名词单数的使用规则，句意不变。

易错句子Several new pipeline were built across the desert.
正确表达Several new pipelines were built across the desert.
pipeline 作可数名词，被 several、many、two 等数量词修饰时要使用复数形式 pipelines，加词尾 -s。汉语名词不随数量变化（“几条管道”中的“管道”不变），因此学习者常忘记加复数词尾。改成 pipelines 后名词数与数量词 several 一致，句意不变。
