5、固定结构(固定句型、固定短语、固定搭配)
所谓固定结构是指英语中一些不能随意更改的习惯表达。如固定短语中的词不能冗缺，固定搭配要前后一致等。
(1)It was very kind for them to meet me at the railway
station and drove me to their home. of(1996.88)
(2)I use to play ping -pong a lot in my sparetime，but...
used(1997.92)

(7)Like most of my schoolmates，I have neither brothers
nor sisters-in any other words，I am an only child.
any(any需为删去的词)(2001.77)
6、冠词
英语中冠词只有三个，从高考英语改错题的角度来看，只能从以下几个方向出题：1)不定冠词a和an互改；2)不定
冠词a或an和定冠词the互改；3)根据需要增删冠词。
(1)Today I visited the Smiths-my first visit to a
American family. an(1996.87)
(2)Each player must obey∧captain，who is the leader of
the team. the(1998.94)
(3)Suddenly，I caught a sight of my English teacher in

roof，but... the(2001.82)
(5)As everyone knows，it's∧famous mountain with all kinds
of plants and animals. a(2002.76)
7、代词
代词不仅要与其所指代对象一致，其运用还要符合上下文的语气及逻辑关系。
(1)The Smiths did his best to make me feel at home.
their(1996.90)
(2)And they must not break the rules too often if we
want to win the game. we(1998.95)

(5)It was about noon when we arrived at the foot of the
mountain.The three of them were very excited.

8、连词及与并置问题
连词连接的前后两部分是否合乎逻辑；并列连词所连接的前后两部分结构是否等同。这两点是解答与连词及其相关问题的高考英语改错题的关键所在。
(1)It was very kind of them to meet me at the station
and drove me to their home. drive(1996.89)
(2)Playing football not only makes us grow up tall and
strong but also give us a sense of fair play and team

(6)The food was expensive and the service was good.

(7)As we climbed the mountain，we fed monkeys，visiting
temples and told stories. visited(2002.83)
9、易混淆的词或词组
易混淆的词既包括词意相同或相近的同义词、近义词，也包括外形相似、意义有别的词组。易混淆词或词组的辨析也是高考改错题中不容忽视的部分。
(1)...but now I am interesting in football.
interested(1997.93)
(2)We must keep in mind that we play for the team
instead∧ourselves. of(1998.92)

(7)Evening came down. down(注：down为需删去的词)(2002.83)
