英语专八改错解题思路
1. 宏观层面分析
（1）句子结构（理顺整个句子的结构，必要时检索上下文）
（2）逻辑关系（关联词选择：并列、递进、因果、转折、假设、让步等）
（3）时态和语态（完成时和虚拟语气是考查重点） 2. 微观层面分析
（1）缺漏（介词、代词、引导词） （2）冗余（两个主语、同义重复）
（3）误用（词性、分词、正反义、主被动、形容词和副词级别）
（4）一致性（名词单复数、主谓一致、先行词） （5）词义与固定搭配 3. 注意事项
（1）即使按照语感很快找到了疑似错误，也要坚持读完全句再做判断，可能会有新的发现。过于相信第一感觉而带来的失分是划不来的。
（2）分两次改比较合理，因为毕竟只有少数人能够在第一遍看材料的时候就找出所有的错误，尽管这些错误不见得隐藏得多深。
（3）常考题型，高度警惕。 冠词：the变a, a变the，补the补a，删a删the，每年都玩的把戏。
单复数：无非是his变their之类的，关键是细心。 近义词：例如distinct和distinctive，move和movement，interest和interests…
反义词：尤其看到dis, un, im，in，non之类的，更要琢磨一下。
关联词：几乎是保留节目，and, but, however, though, moreover, therefore…
非谓语动词：见了ing想ed，见了ed想ing, 就是这么贱。
形容词比较级：多半是把原形改为比较级。考的频率也蛮高的。 虚拟语气：注意一下还是比较容易看出来的，多长个心眼儿吧。
It：有时要加，有时要删，有时要变itself，总之多盯“它”几眼。 动词词组：其实主要是介词的问题，这个没办法临时抱佛脚，要靠积累.
改错：
1、改错虽然为主观题，但错误类型相对集中，可分为以下几种情况：
定冠词：a, an, the误用，甚至多出来；解决办法：分析定冠词的主语及上下文有无指代；
级：分两类错误，第一种是原级用成比较级，比较级用成最高级，反之亦然。有一种除外，是两者比较谁最好，可以用最高级；第二种是意思相反，如most改为least；
连词错误：也分两种，第一种为连词误用，应该表示转折的用成了并列，比如while改为and；第二种为近义词。在不同语境中用However, Nonetheless, 比用but更合适，更合乎语法；（与逻辑关系也有关，看上下文，联系语境）
词性错误：多出现为形容词转变为副词，反之亦然；也有可能是限定，如adv.+adj.+n.，如下所说；形容词改为动词或名词等，多出现在一词多性的情况下；
形容词限定错误：出现在adj.+adj.+n.要知道第1个adj.是限定第2个adj.还是限定n.；若是限定第2个adj.，大多改为副词adv.；
搭配错误：多为介词搭配错误，如in some extent改为to，rely in改为on等；也有搭配词没有给出，需要自己添加，比如define...as；
词义错误：比如：rather than改为other than；（此项比较难）
近义形容词错误：例如：respective, respectable, respectful, respecting, respected；（此项比较难）
缺失：例如the fact 后面直接接了句子，中间缺少that，表明同位关系；
多余：有的地方莫名其妙多出一个词，多为介词，是没有用的；
词义相反：多出现在形容词，需要在前面添加或去掉in-, im-, ir-, un-等否定前缀；
主动被动：分析主语与谓语动词的逻辑关系是主动还是被动，多出现在分句中；
三单：主语与谓语是单数还是复数，主语是否为不可数名词，是的话如何判断谓语动词是单数还是复数，还是有特殊用法；
时态：现在时用为过去式，或者进行时用成了现在时等；
定语从句用错先行词：which用成了that；难点儿的比如：for which用成了which，要知道for which=why, in / at which=where；还有什么情况下必须用that，比如人和物搭配，序数词，the one, the only,不缺任何成分，有否定词，有all等；
以下八大高频考点的分类出自《华研·专八人文知识与改错》，现将八大类错误整理如下，主要包括：1.短语搭配错误；2.易混词错误；3.逻辑关系错误；4.代词错误（一致错误）；5.冠词错误；6.形容词和副词使用错误；7.成分残缺或冗余；8.动词时态或语态错误。 笔者认为这八类错误基本涵盖了改错考试中出现的错误，首先了解错误类型，对应对改错具有重要意义。 另外，笔者在总结《华研·专八人文知识与改错》和《星火·专八改错满分突破60篇》两本练习册中近100篇改错题的基础上，搜集其中出现的所有典型错误例子（语法词汇类错误居多），并根据所属错误类型整理如下。
