易错句子I bought plant for my desk yesterday.
正确表达I bought a plant for my desk yesterday.
plant 是可数名词,单数形式表示“一株植物”时前面必须加冠词 a/an。汉语名词前没有冠词这一词类,所以中文学习者容易直接漏掉。

易错句子There are many plant in the park near my home.
正确表达There are many plants in the park near my home.
plant 是可数名词,前面有 many、a lot of 或数字,或泛指多于一株时,必须用复数形式 plants。汉语名词本身不随数量改变形式,所以容易漏掉词尾 -s。
grammar · medium
易错句子My new plant need water every day.
正确表达My new plant needs water every day.
英语一般现在时中,主语为第三人称单数(如 my new plant)时,动词要加 -s/-es。汉语动词不随主语的人称和数变化,因此容易漏掉 needs 的词尾 -s。
