3. Methods of modifying incorrect sentences

First, read the original meaning of the sentence carefully and understand the meaning expressed by the sentence. It can also be said to be a review.

Second, we must carefully analyze the condition and find out the cause. There are many types of disease, so we must carefully analyze what type of disease it belongs to and find out the cause. This is the most critical step in revising a wrong sentence.

Third, prescribe the right medicine and correct the wrong sentences. After analyzing the cause of the disease, it is necessary to correct it according to the problems in the disease sentence. One key can only open one lock.

Fourth, check it out. After correcting the wrong sentence, you need to make three checks: first, check whether the cause of the disease you found is correct; second, check whether the modification you made is accurate; third, check whether the original meaning of the sentence has been changed after correcting the wrong sentence.

Reading sentences carefully is the basis; finding the cause is the key;

Be principled when making revisions; be patient when checking after revisions.
