Examples

for his nose was as sharp as
a pen, and
<sic>a Table</sic>
 of green fields.

If all that is desired is to call attention to the apparent problem in the copy text, sic may be used alone:

I don't know, Juan. It's so far in the past now
— how
<sic>we can</sic>
 prove or disprove anyone's theories?

It is also possible, using the choice and corr elements, to provide a corrected reading:

I don't know, Juan. It's so far in the past now
— how
<choice>
  <sic>we can</sic>
  <corr>can we</corr>
</choice>
 prove or disprove anyone's theories?

for his nose was as sharp as
a pen, and
<choice>
  <sic>a Table</sic>
  <corr>a' babbld</corr>
</choice>
 of green fields.
