large
［误］ He found a large number of mistake in his homework.

［析］ "a large number of + 复数名词"，意为大量的。
last
［误］ This is the newest news.
［正］ This is the latest news.
［析］ "最新消息"应为latest news，因为最晚到的新闻才是最新消息，请注意英语与汉语的区别。
last the last
［误］ I saw my brother the last week.
［正］ I saw my brother last week.
［析］ 当谈到与目前有关的上月、上星期等概念时只能用last month, last week, 而不能加定冠词，the last 可用于表示一系列词的最后一个，如： That was the last Christmas I spent at home. 但the last可以用来表示持续到现在的一个长时期，如： I am busy for the last week.
