易错句子The spreads of the virus in the city worried the doctors.
正确表达The spread of the virus in the city worried the doctors.
spread 表示“传播、蔓延”这一抽象意义时是不可数名词，没有复数形式，不能加 -s。汉语名词不分单复数，学生容易误加复数；用 the spread of ... 表示……的传播即可。

易错句子The disease spread in the city worried the doctors.
正确表达The spread of the disease in the city worried the doctors.
英语中“……的传播”要用名词短语 the spread of + 名词，不能照汉语“疾病的传播”把两个名词直接并排（disease spread）。加上 of 并调整语序后，spread 是中心名词，disease 作其后置修饰成分。

易错句子The supermarket sells many different spread.
正确表达The supermarket sells many different spreads.
表示“涂抹酱”这类具体食品时，spread 是可数名词，受 many different 等数量修饰语限定时必须用复数 spreads。汉语只用“很多种”表达数量、名词本身不标复数，因此容易漏掉 -s。
