Which is the right sentence?


I took away a word from my sentence.

I took off a word from my sentence.

I removed a word from my sentence.

Thank you.

 

All these sentences are grammatically correct.  However, the last one is preferrable.  Here are some other words you can also use.

 

"deleted" (implies with a purpose as in editing etc, so is "removed")

"omitted" (implies unintention or a mistake was made)

"scratched/crossed out" (implies that the editing marks can still be seen)

---

The first sentence is wrong. There is no such phrasal verb as to take away.

The second and the third sentences are correct, but personally I would use the third one.
