文法句型

usually plural: lungs

用法筆記

Usually used in the plural form 'lungs' because the organs come as a pair. The singular 'lung' is used when referring to one of them specifically (e.g., 'the right lung', 'a collapsed lung').

常見錯誤

❌The infection is in my lung.' (when the infection affects both sides)
✅The infection is in my lungs.
💡When both organs are affected, use the plural form.
