Common mistakes

typesetting 是现在分词,不能单独充当谓语动词;表示过去进行时要用助动词 was 加现在分词,构成 was typesetting。汉语动词没有助动词,所以学习者容易漏掉 was。
I have many typesettings to do today.I have much typesetting to do today.
表示“排字工作”这一抽象活动时,typesetting 是不可数名词,不能用复数 typesettings,也不可用 many 修饰;要用 much(或 a lot of)。复数 typesettings 只用于指具体的多种排版样式,不用于泛指工作量。
We bought a new typesetting's machine.We bought a new typesetting machine.
名词作定语修饰另一个名词时用原形(名词作定语),不用所有格 ’s;汉语里“排字机”的“的”容易让学习者误用所有格。typesetting machine 是固定搭配,表示“排字机”。
