易错句子There are many river in China.
正确表达There are many rivers in China.
river 是可数名词；many 后必须接复数名词，而汉语名词通常不通过词尾变化表示复数，所以容易漏掉 -s。改为 rivers 才能与 many 搭配，表示“许多河流”。

易错句子We crossed river by boat.
正确表达We crossed the river by boat.
可数名词单数在特指某条河时前面必须用定冠词 the；汉语没有冠词系统，故容易直接说 crossed river。加 the 表示说话双方已知的那条河。

易错句子The Yellow River is long 5,464 kilometers.
正确表达The Yellow River is 5,464 kilometers long.
英语表示长度时用“数字 + 单位 + long”结构；汉语说“长 5,464 公里”，把“长”放在数字前，因此易误写成 long 5,464 kilometers。改为 5,464 kilometers long 才符合英语语序。
