发现句中有比较结构时，就要检查是否有形容词和副词的级、程度副词、比较的对象以及冠词方面的错误。如：

1. People in the modern world generally live much more longer than people in the past.

    该句中比较级形式重复，应去掉more。正确的句子应当是：People in the modern world generally live much longer than people in the past.

   

2. There are more trees in villages than cities.

    该句中比较对象应当是“in villages”与“in cities”，所以应当在cities前面加上in。

   

3. The weather here is warmer than in Washington.

    此句中比较对象应当是“The weather here”与“the weather in Washington”，所以应当在than后面加上that来代替the weather，从而补全比较对象。正确的句子应当是：The weather here is warmer than that in Washington.该句也可以说成：It is warmer here than in Washington.

   

4. In some places you can borrow many books as you want.

    根据段落上下文不难发现该句是含有“as…as”结构的句子，所以应当在many前边加上as。
