Author,
There are rules to follow to make a proper sentence in English. You learn what
words must be used to make a sentence. You learn how to add words to make
sentences express more detail. You learn when each type of word can and cannot
be used. It is not easy to understand all the rules, or to remember them all. So
mistakes are sometimes made when creating sentences. One common type of error
is to use too many words. The extra word may be an article, a verb, a pronoun, a
preposition, an adjective, a conjunction, or an entire phrase. Using words with the
same meaning in one sentence is another kind of unnecessary word error.
Sometimes a sentence can be written with less words if the word order is changed.
In this section, you will need to use all of your knowledge of grammar. Read
through the question. Decide if each answer choice MUST be in that sentence to
make it work.

a. Unnecessary prepositions
Example :
b. Unnecessary articles

d. Miscellaneous
Wrong repetition of subject.
Don't say : My little brother he is at school,
Say : My little brother is at school.
Note : Never repeat the subject by using a pronoun after the noun
My little brother, and he denote the same person Therefore, use
one or the other as sub|ect, but not both.
Wrong repetition of subject in a compound sentence.
Don't say : I went to the market and I bought fruit.
Say : I went to the market and bought fruit.
In a compound sentence, express the same subject once only and
don't repeat it before each verb, unless the sentence is long and
complicated.
