Examine something in detailed way
To look at something very carefully so you can understand it or explain it clearly.
Patrón de uso:
to analyze [something]
Error frecuente:
Learners sometimes add an extra preposition, saying *"analyze about something"* instead of *"analyze something"*. Also, many learners confuse the American spelling **"analyze"** with the British spelling **"analyse"**; both are correct in their own varieties of English.
Sinónimos
examine (More general and slightly less formal; does not always suggest a very systematic or detailed study.)

Process and study data systematically
To use methods or computer tools to study data and find patterns or useful information.
Patrón de uso:
to analyze [data/information] to [find/show something]

Sinónimos
