用法筆記

Countable noun. Its plural form can be either 'teaspoonfuls' or (less commonly) 'teaspoonsful'. The -ful suffix turns a container name into a measurement unit, following the same pattern as 'handful', 'cupful', and 'tablespoonful'. This sense is distinct from 'teaspoon', which names the utensil itself.

常見錯誤

when counting the amount, use the plural of 'teaspoonful', not the singular 'teaspoon'.
Add a teaspoonful oil.

the preposition 'of' is required between the measurement and the substance.
