易错句子Can you give me wipe for the table?
正确表达Can you give me a wipe for the table?
wipe 作名词时是可数名词，单数形式前必须有冠词或限定词；汉语名词可以光用不带上任何限定成分，直接照搬就会漏掉 a。加不定冠词 a 才表示“一张／一块擦布”。

易错句子There are a few wipe in the box.
正确表达There are a few wipes in the box.
wipe 是可数名词，被 a few 这类表示复数的限定词修饰时，名词本身要变成 -s 复数形式 wipes；汉语名词的词形不随数量改变，所以容易忘记加 -s。

易错句子How much wipes do you need?
正确表达How many wipes do you need?
wipe 在此是可数名词的复数，提问数量要用 how many；how much 只能修饰不可数名词。汉语的“多少”不区分可数与不可数，因此常被误用成 how much。
