修改前Can you do the dish after dinner tonight?
修改后Can you do the dishes after dinner tonight?
把洗碗当作一个整体概念，容易写成 the dish。但这个固定表达使用复数 dishes，泛指需要一起清洗的一批碗碟和餐具。
不要混淆 washing-up 和 washing：do the washing-up 是洗碗，do the washing 是洗衣服。I'll do the washing-up if you do the washing。

查看答案
do the dishes — 聚会后有很多脏餐具，清洗这项家务叫 do the dishes，用复数。单数 the dish 表示某一个盘碗或某道菜，例如 a pasta dish，因此 do the dish 不适合这里。
描述家里谁负责洗碗，以及通常哪一餐之后最常洗。
In our house my husband usually does the dishes, mostly after dinner, when there's the most to wash.
