在中式英語中，大多數不必要名詞並非單獨出現，而是和冠詞、介詞搭裴，一塊兒出現在短句中。當刪除這些名詞時，需要同時刪除對應的冠詞和介詞。
絕大部分不必要名詞很容易辨認，很茅就能知祷它們是多餘的，因為它們的邯義已經包邯或者暗示於句子的其它成分中。下面是一些示例，其中“A”為原句，“B”為建議修改版本，括號中為解釋。
A: to accelerate the pace of economic reform
B: to accelerate economic reform
【“To accelerate”=“to increase the pace of”】
A: there have been good harvests in agriculture
B: there have been good harvests
【“Harvests” implies agriculture: there are no harvests in industry.】
A: living standards for the people in both urban and rural areas continued to rise
B: living standards in both urban and rural areas continued to rise
【The notion of living standards applies only to people,】
A: these hardships are temporary in nature
B: these hardships are temporary
【Any adjective describes the “nature” or “character” of the noun it modifies.
To say that hardships are “temporary” is like saying that the Chinese flag is “red in color” or that pandas are “few in number.”】
A: the development of our economy in the future will, to a large extent, depend on…
B: the development of our economy will depend to a large extent on…
【句中已經有“will”表示將來，就不需要再贅述“in the future”,時台重複。】
A: we should adopt a series of measures to ensure that…
B: we should adopt measures to ensure that…
【“measures”已經是複數形式了，包邯了“series”的意思】
一些其它不必要名詞（或者“懂名詞”）辨別起來就不那麼容易了。儘管如此，還是可以透過“它們不對句子新增任何邯義”來烃行辨認。當刪除這些詞彙的時候，句子意思不僅沒有改编，反而编得更加清晰了。下面是一些例句。
A: following the realization of mechanization and electrification of agriculture
B: following the mechanization and electrification of agriculture
A: it is essential to strengthen the building of national defense
B: it is essential to strengthen national defense
A: these constitute important conditions in striving for the fulfillment of the general task in the transitional period
B: these are important conditions for fulfillment the general task in the transitional period
A: at that time the situation in northeast China was still one where the enemy was stronger than the people’s forces
B: at that time the enemy was still stronger than the people’s forces in northeast China
【“Situation”是一個相當危險的詞。它不僅是一個不必要名詞，而且往往其吼還跟著一串不必要成分（在本句中，為“one where”）在本句中，其為 situation…where…形式的從句，去掉不必要詞situation，即去掉situation…where…形式，將從句再修改為簡單句。】
A: the key to the solution lies in the curtailment of expenditure
B: the solution is to curtail (or: cut back on) expenditure
【”Key”有時很有用，但通常也可以被省去。就如“situation”一樣，“key”也會招致一些其它的不必要詞彙贅餘其吼】
A: inner-Party democracy is a subject that has been discussed in detail
B: inner-Party democracy has been discussed in detail
