1. 實詞以改變形式爲原則
在改錯中，實詞的處理一般只是改變它的形式，而不能改變其詞義也不能改換成另一個實詞，更不能隨便給添刪。如：
(1) Soon I began to enjoy talk to myself on paper as I was learning to express me in simple English.
【解析】本題考查的是enjoy後接動名詞的用法。但是有些同學的改法是把enjoy刪掉，原句就變成了Soon I began to talk to myself on paper as I was learning to express me in simple English。這樣做雖然改正了語法錯誤，但是也改變了原來的句子所要表達的意思，故不能這樣改。本題的正確改法是把talk改爲talking。
(2) Finding information on the Net is easily. But not all…
【解析】應把easily改爲easy。因爲一般的副詞不能作表語，而應用形容詞。切記不要換成 simple 或其他的近義形容詞。simple意思爲很普通，很常見，(所以很簡單)，而easy就是簡單的意思，從難度上來表達的。兩者表達的角度不一樣。
2. 以保持原意不變爲原則
一般應遵循保持句子原意的原則，即不能改變文章或作者所表達的意思，包括其語氣和上下文的`邏輯關係。只對短文中的用詞錯誤、語法錯誤、行文關係錯誤進行改正，且要小改而不大改。如：
(1) …are still many people living in poor conditions. They make their lives. (廣東卷)
【分析】lives→living。make a / one’s living 爲一固定短語。只需將 lives 改成 living 就可以了，不要將 their lives 改爲 a living。
(2) But I have spent most my money, so I cannot… (四川卷)
【解析】在my前加 of。也有同學去掉 most，這種改法雖改正了語法錯誤，但改變了原意。作者想說的是“花掉了大部分的錢，而不是全部”。
3. 虛詞以添加或刪除爲原則
歷年高考題需要添加或刪除的地方爲三四處。這些需要添刪的詞一般是冠詞、代詞、介詞、關係詞等，而動詞、名詞等的添刪則不是很常見，因爲太容易改變句子的原意。
(1) From his answer we shall know the something now.
【解析】不定代詞前不能加冠詞，所以故去掉the。
(2) Then I began to pay more attention my pronunciation.
【解析】固定搭配pay attention to後缺少介詞to，應加上。

I’ll stay here, when I’m thinking of returning 3. __________
home. The answer of their questions is simple: I 4. __________
do not know when I return home. At the moment, 5. __________
I have no reason to return back to England. I like 6. __________
living in China; I enjoy meeting Chinese people 7. __________
and travel around the country. My work is very 8. __________
interested, and there are so many things I don’t know 9. __________
about China that I hope to discover it in the future. 10. ________
【答案解析】
1. 將come改爲been。come是終止性動詞，不與時間段連用。
2. 將ask改爲asking。現在分詞作伴隨狀語。
3. 在when前加and。 when引導的從句與how long引導的從句是兩個並列的賓語從句(作asking的賓語)。
4. 將of改爲to。在answer, key, way, entrance等名詞後，習慣上用介詞to。
5. 在return前加will。這是將來時。注意：不要誤以爲when引導的是時間狀語從句，用一般現在時代替將來時。事實上，when引導的是賓語從句。
6. 去掉back或將return改爲go。因爲return=go back。
7. 此行正確。
8. 將travel改爲traveling。因爲traveling與meeting並列，作enjoy的賓語。
9. 將interested改爲interesting。表示某事物“令人……的”用-ing形容詞；-ed形容詞則表示某人“感到……的”。
10. 將it改爲them。因爲此處是指many things。

as possibly. I believe I will have a wonderful time 10. _________
in England this summer.
【答案解析】
1. 把invite改爲inviting。現在分詞作定語修飾offer。
2. 此行正確。
3. 把five-weeks改爲five-week。“數詞+連字符號+名詞”作定語，其中的名詞要用單數。
4. 把allows改爲allow。在助動詞will, would及情態動詞can, may, must等後面，永遠要用動詞原形。
5. 把learned改爲learning。while learning=while I’m learning。
6. 在language前加the。特指英語這種語言。
7. 把In改爲Of。subjects“科目”，English是其中一個“科目”，表示最高級的比較範圍，若是整體與個別的關係，就用of。指時間、地點範圍，才用in。
8. 去掉me。主語希望自己做某事，直接用hope to do sth，事實上，也不能用hope sb to do sth這一句型。
9. 去掉level。這是中文式英語。improve=make…better。
10. 把possibly改爲possible。as…as possible(盡……)是習語。

but also very strict in me. With his help, I’ve made 8. __________
great progress. I’ll never to forget what he taught 9. __________
me. I think my father is best father in the world. 10. _________
【答案解析】
改爲 is。根據上下文的時態可知。
2. 第一個year改爲years。因它受 forty-five 的修飾。
3. old 改爲 older。因其後有表示比較的 than。
4. 去掉is。比較：used to=過去經常，be used to=習慣於。
5. 此行無錯。
6. advices 改爲 advice。advice 爲不可數名詞。
7. good 改爲 well。修飾動詞要用副詞，不用形容詞。
8. in 改爲 with。be strict in後接某事，be strict with後接某人。
9. 去掉to。因助動詞will後要接動詞原形，不能接不定式。
10. best 前加 the。形容詞最高級前通常要加定冠詞。

Mary is my best friend. We’re all from Henan, 1. _____
but now I live in Beijing when she lives in 2. _____
Guangzhou. We don’t look each other very often, 3. _____
but we’re keep in touch all the time. I often write 4. _____
to Mary and telling her about the things that 5. _____
are happened at my company, and she often 6. _____

once a week. Sometime I call her on her 8. _____
car phone, or we send e-mail to each other. 9. _____
We’re really luck. There are so many ways 10. ____
we can keep in touch with each other.
【答案解析】
1. all改爲both。指Mary和作者兩個人。
2. when改爲and或while。因爲兩個分句沒有主從關係。而是並列關係，或者有對比或對照的含義。
3. look改爲see。因爲此句意爲“兩個人不能經常見面(see)”。
4. 去掉keep或把we’re改爲we。因爲keep是動詞，若不是進行時態或被動語態，動詞前不用be，但句中沒有動詞時必用be。所以去掉keep或去掉are，
5. telling改爲tell。tell和write是並列謂語。
6. happened改爲happening。因爲這是現在進行時態。
7. phone前加the。因爲on the phone是習語，意爲“用電話(交談)”。
8. Sometime改爲Sometimes。此處表示“有時候”，而不是表示“某個不定的時候”。
9. 此行正確。
10. luck改爲lucky。用形容詞作表語。

quick decision because the price may go up soon. 10. ____
【答案解析】
1. in改爲into。in“在……裏”表靜態的位置；而into則表動態的位置，意爲“進入”。
2. and改爲but。前後句之間是轉折關係。
3. a改爲the。這裏表特指，指要買的電視機的大小。
4. 此行正確。
5. 去掉第一個for。“把A物換成B物”的英語表達是change A for B。文章中該句句意爲“幾年之後就要把小電視換成大電視”。
6. no改爲not。因爲no是形容詞，修飾名詞，而necessary是形容詞，所以要用副詞not來修飾。
7. said改爲says。因爲上下文都是用的一般現在時，這裏指現在的思想，現在的想法。
8. they改爲it。這裏指的是the big television。
9. 去掉to。had better後接動詞原形。
10. quick前加a。make a decision意爲“作出決定”。
