a：不可数名词前是否多了冠词。如：Man couldn’t live without (the) water. 不可数名词若非特指，不需要加冠词，故要删掉the。

b：定语从句中是否既有关系词又有先行词。

如：He is a man that everyone likes to work with (him). 此题多了him。

c：该省的不定式是否没省。

如：He had nothing to do but (to) wander (徘徊，闲逛) in the dark street but前如含有行为动词“do”的任何形式，那么它后边都不带to。

d：时间状语中是否多用了介词。

如：He reads English (in) every morning.

every, each, this, that等和表时间的词连用，通常不用介词。又如：each day, this afternoon。

e：固定搭配“画蛇添足”。

如：Those farmers would take up their guns in (the) time of war.

这里，in time of是固定短语，意思是“在……时候”。

f：比较等级结构中是否有了不必要的重复或相似。

如：He got (even) (much) lazier.

这里，even和much都可用于比较级前表程度。此处多了不必要的重复。故可任意删去一个。

又如：This book is (as) the same as that one．

the same…as是一固定短语。

g：受母语影响，及物动词后多了介词或副词。

如：He told (to) me that he would go to the station to meet her.

又如：He said he had returned the book (back). return本身就有“将…归还”之意，故多了back，应删掉。

③错词。错词的类型复杂繁多，但常见的还是语法错误，词与词的搭配错误。考生可从以下几个方面进行分析判断。

a：是否误用冠词。

如：Mike had the dog．The dog was very lovely.

第一句的dog是初次提到，应改为a dog。

b：单复数是否有错，主谓是否一致。

如：Jack’s family is fond of football.

这里family指的是Jack的家人。故谓语动词应用are。

若指整体，family作主语，其谓语才用单数。如：Jack's family is a small one.

c：动词时态、语态是否有误。

如：We soon found the work hard to be done.

不定式位于hard，easy，difficult，heavy，expensive等词后，不定式用主动形式。

又如：When we arrived，the wounded man was carried away.

这里应将was改为had been。因为主句动作发生在我们到达之前。
