1. 動詞時態
每年都有時態錯誤的小題，而且改動基本集中在一般過去時與一般現在時之間。時態的更改要以上下文的主體時態為依據。
（1）（2003全國卷）She liked it very much and reads it to the class. All said the story was... 84. read
（and連線並列謂語）
（2）（2004江蘇卷）At once I apologize and controlled myself... 83. apologized
（and連線並列謂語）
（3）（2004全國卷） Sometimes, we talked to each other very well in class,... 82. talk
（根據sometimes可判斷此句為一般現在時）
（4）（2005全國卷Ⅱ）I will write again and send you the photos we take together. 85. took
（把照片寄給你，應該是已經拍好的'，用過去時）
（5）（2005全國卷Ⅰ） There are advantage for students to work while studying at school. One of them was that they can earn money. 77. is
（從上下文判斷，應該是現在時，謂語用is）
（6）（2005江蘇卷）We named him Jack and keep him for about three years. 76. kept
（and連線並列謂語）
2. 名詞單複數
單複數互改是大學聯考英語改錯題的基本題型之一，改動的依據有：一是根據名詞前的修飾限定成份；二是根據上下文的邏輯關係。
（1）（2003全國卷）Their word were a great encouragement to me. 85. words
（是把word改為words 還是把were改為was，根據名詞前的修飾限定詞their來決定。）
（2）（2004江蘇）that was a dinner we had waited for several month. 85. months
（several修飾複數名詞）
（3）（2004全國卷Ⅰ） a few minute on the Internet. 77. minutes
（a few修飾複數名詞）
（4）（2005全國卷Ⅱ）But one and a half year later. 79. years
（one and a half意思為一年半，故判斷此處year應為複數形式）
（5）（2005全國卷Ⅰ）There are advantage for students to work... 76. advantages
（從there are 判斷應該用名詞複數）
