140. Omission of "there" as an introductory word
(X) Once lived a great king.
(O) Once there/There once lived a great king.
Use the adverb "there" to introduce the subject of a sentence in which the verb stands before the subject.

141. Omission of "how" after the verb "to know"
(X) She knows to play the piano.
(O) She knows how to play the piano.
After the verb "to know" the adverb "how" always comes before an infinitive.

142. Omission of "other" after a comparative
(X) Homer was greater than all the Greek poets.
(O) Homer was greater than all the other Greek poets.
Since Homer was a Greek poet, the first sentence makes him greater than himself, which is illogical.
