易错句子She is a protestant.
正确表达She is a Protestant.
表示“新教徒”时，Protestant 是专有名词（作定语时也是专有形容词），首字母必须大写。小写的 protestant 在英语中只对应“抗议者”这一义项，所以谈论宗教信仰时要写 a Protestant。
grammar · medium
易错句子There are many Protestant in this town.
正确表达There are many Protestants in this town.
Protestant 作“新教徒”时是可数名词，指一个个具体的人，前面有 many、several、three 等词时要加复数词尾 -s，写成 Protestants；汉语名词不标复数，所以容易漏掉。
grammar · medium
易错句子He converted to Protestant last year.
正确表达He converted to Protestantism last year.
Protestant 指“新教徒”这个人，或作形容词“新教的”；宗教体系本身要用名词 Protestantism。convert to 后面接的是所皈依的宗教体系，所以要用 Protestantism。
