: O3 K' ], j* N& `! y7 _3 } 1．单复数词形相同 : r3 d7 Q7 n' s, Z. }
如: people, fish, Chinese(某国人), aircraft, means, series, species，sheep, deer, aircraft等

medium(媒体)-media datum(数据)-data curriculum(课程)-curricula 5 S2 ]/ n/ a' E) o( g0 z& Q
larva(幼虫)-larvae criterion(标准)-criteria phenomenon(现象)-phenomena : G- M' ~ @6 `% I# B

! }+ O4 ]$ v, R: V* o y* v 例题：

( D; T, Z' `8 a8 O! M (2) Like some other running birds, the sanderling lacks a back toe and has a three-toed feet.
( ~9 H$ |0 N; j3 c1 }6 |% @& M 应改为：foot ' I; s' i0 z- y. M8 M$ ?
解释：feet是foot的复数形式, 不定冠词a 之后应接可数名词的单数, 故将feet 改为单数 ( e" L6 s" O# d& z3 k; [
