易错句子The stone dropped into the pond and made plash.

正确表达The stone dropped into the pond and made a plash.

plash 是可数名词，表示“一下溅水声”，单数泛指时要加不定冠词 a；汉语名词没有冠词，所以容易漏掉。

正确表达The plash of the oars was loud in the still night.

主语中心词是单数 plash，of the oars 只是修饰语，谓语要用 was；汉语没有主谓一致，学习者常被靠近谓语的复数 oars 带偏。

易错句子He dived into the cool plash of the lake.

正确表达He dived into the cool water of the lake.

plash 指物体击水或水击物的声音（及造成该声音的动作），不指水本身；要表达“湖水”须用 water，不能把“溅水”直接套成 plash。
