Eight basic methods of modifying sick sentences

If there are no necessary elements in a sentence, the expression of meaning is incomplete and unclear.

For example, "I have done a lot of good things for my class." It is not clear who has done many good deeds.

Second, improper use of words:

Because of the unclear understanding of the meaning, it is easy to use it improperly in the scope of meaning and praise, especially synonyms and related words, resulting in sick sentences. For example, "he does things calmly and arbitrarily." "Arbitrary" is a derogatory term, which should be changed to "decisive" if used improperly.

Third, improper collocation of words:

In a sentence, some words can't match or are unreasonable in meaning, which violates the habit of language and causes sick sentences. Including the improper use of some related words.

For example, "at the party, we heard sweet songs and beautiful dances." Obviously, "hearing" and "dancing beauty" cannot be matched, and should be changed to "at the party, we heard sweet songs and saw beautiful dances."

For example, "If we live a rich life, we shouldn't waste it." Obviously, the use of related words is wrong and should be changed to "even if we are rich, we should not waste it."

Fourth, inconsistency:

In the same sentence, the meanings expressed before and after are contradictory and ambiguous.

For example, "I guess he must have done this problem wrong." The first half of the sentence is not sure enough, and the second half is sure that he is wrong, so there is a contradiction. What happened? People don't understand. It can be changed to "I guess he did this problem wrong." Or "I conclude that he did this problem wrong."

Fifth, the word order is reversed:

Under normal circumstances, the word order in a sentence is fixed, the word order changes, the position is reversed, the meaning of the sentence will change, and even a sick sentence will be caused.

For example, "China people are very interested in me." The positions of "Chinese" and "I" are reversed and should be changed to "I am very interested in Chinese."

Six, repeatability:

In sentences, the meanings of the words used are repetitive, which makes them redundant.

For example, "he rushed into the classroom and announced the good news of going for a spring outing tomorrow." Both "excited" and "in high spirits" in the sentence mean that he is very happy, so one of them can be deleted.

Seven, the concept is not clear:

It refers to the unclear concept, improper attribute and chaotic scope of words in a sentence.

For example, "Wan Li Great Wall, Palace Museum and Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge are all historical sites that Chinese and foreign tourists yearn for." The "Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge" here is not a "historic site", and the concept of ownership is unclear. It should be changed to "The Great Wall of Wan Li and the Palace Museum are historical sites that Chinese and foreign tourists yearn for."

Eight, illogical and unreasonable:

Some words in a sentence are unclear in concept, misused, or unreasonable in meaning, which is also easy to cause sick sentences.

For example, "the rice is ripe, the fields are green, and there is a bumper harvest." Rice is golden yellow when it is ripe, but it is unreasonable to use green to describe this sentence.
