×We need to process the data careful.
✓We need to process the data carefully.
The verb 'process' should be modified by an adverb ('carefully'), not an adjective ('careful'), to describe how the action is performed.
×I processed to check the documents.
✓I proceeded to check the documents.
'Process' (處理) and 'proceed' (繼續進行) are often confused. 'Process' means to perform a series of operations on something, while 'proceed' means to begin or continue a course of action.
×The application is in process.
✓The application is in the process of being reviewed. / The application is being processed.
The phrase 'in process' is incomplete and unnatural. Use 'in the process of [verb+ing]' to describe an ongoing action, or use the passive voice 'is being processed' to describe the status.
×We process to improve the system.
✓We are working on improving the system. / We have a process to improve the system.
'Process' as a verb requires a direct object (what is being processed). It cannot be used intransitively to mean 'work on' or 'engage in'. Use a different verb or rephrase using 'process' as a noun.
×It takes time for process the payment.
✓It takes time to process the payment.
After 'takes time', 'for' should be followed by a noun phrase. To introduce a verb action, use the infinitive 'to process'.
