下面一段文字中，有三处错误。你能找出并改正吗？
All social units develop a culture. Even in two-person relationships, a culture develops over time. In friendship and romantic relationships, for example, partners develop their own history, shared experiences, language patterns, habits, and customs give that relationship a special character﹘a character that differs it in various ways from other relationships.
参考译文：All social units develop a culture. Even in two-person relationships, a culture develops over time. In friendship and romantic relationships, for example, partners develop their own history, shared experiences, language patterns, habits, and customs (which）give that relationship a special character﹘a character that differentiates it in various ways from other relationships.
解析：1）in time是“及时”的时间，而over time的意思是“随着时间流逝”2) give 是一个动词，后接宾语，因此缺一个主语，用which或that关系代词来引导；不过，在现代英语中，在这一类主语缺失的情况下，也是能理解的。3）differ是不及物动词，意为“区别”或“相异”，后面不接宾主，即直接用differ from （each other)；而differentiate是及物动词，differentiate it from是正确的。
