常见误用提醒

使用 convenience store:I went to the convenient store. → I went to the convenience store. (错误使用了形容词'convenient',正确应为名词'convenience store',指商店类型。)

使用 convenience store:There is a convenience shop near here. → There is a convenience store near here. ('convenience shop'不常用,英语中标准说法是'convenience store',避免直译中文'商店'。)

使用 department store:I went to department store to buy a gift. → I went to the department store to buy a gift. (错误:缺少冠词the。在英语中,department store通常需要定冠词the来特指某家百货公司,除非是专有名词的一部分(如Macy's)。正确用法应加上the。)
