Language Points
1. Plants can grow very tall, and animals have plenty of food to eat.

修饰可数名词复数或不可数名词，相当于 a lot of/lots of；无 “a plenty of” 这种表达，这是常见错误搭配，正确形式仅为 “plenty of”。
主谓一致：修饰可数名词复数时，谓语动词用复数；修饰不可数名词时，谓语动词用单数。
The garden gets plenty of sunlight, so the flowers grow well.
这个花园能得到充足的阳光，所以花儿长得很好。
He has plenty of friends. His friends can help him with the move.
他有很多朋友。他的朋友能帮他搬家。
2. The sea is home to different kinds of fish. 海洋是各种鱼类的家园。
fish，名词，意为 “鱼；鱼肉”，用法如下：
作可数名词（表 “鱼的条数”）：单复数同形
There are three fish in the bowl. 碗里有三条鱼。
作可数名词（表 “鱼的种类”）：复数形式为 fishes
