综观近十年的高考短文改错题，不难看出常见的改错十大思路是：一致关系、连接手段、平行结构、非谓语动词形式、删除冗言、冠词使用，名词数与格，词语搭配，词性分辨，行文逻辑等。现结合近三年的高考试题对这十大思路分析如下：
一、一致关系
短文改错中所涉及到的一致关系包括主谓一致、时态一致和代词指代一致。谓语动词的单、复数形式要与句子的主语在人称和数上保持一致，动词的时态要与时间状语或上下文的时态保持一致，代词所指的内容与其先行词在词性和数方面以及与其自身的指代，要在意义上保持一致。例如：
1、(01春季)But then there is always more mysteries to look into.
2、(01春季)I think I liked those classes because I felt that it helped me understand how the world works.
3、(NMET 2001)They didn’t want me to do any work at home. They want me to devote all my time to my studies so that I’ll get good marks in all my subjects.
4、(2002春季)for example, when he bought a chocolate cake, he put them in a secret place that I couldn’ t find.
5、(2002春季)He said he is busy.
6、(NMET02)The three of them were very excited .
7、(NMET03)…..and tried to translate anything into English.
8、(NMET03)Their word were a great encouragement to me.
二、连接手段
连接不当会造成上下文不衔接。英语中句与句连接一般使用并列连词或从属连词。或若并列句，要判断句与句之间是并列、转折、选择、递进关系，还是让步关系。、从而选择恰当的连词，若为复合句，首先应判断内含何种从句，然后根据主、从句之间的关系判断连接词的使用是否正确，是否有遗漏或多余现象，要注意句子结构的完整性。例如：
1、(01春季)I think I like those classes because I felt that they helped me understand what the world works.
2、(01春季)In one class, I learned it rained.
3、(02春季)For example, when he bought a chocolate cake he put in a secret place where I couldn’t find.
4、(NMET 02) It was about noon we arrived at the foot of the mountain.
三、平行结构
平行结构是指两个或更多的具有相似或相同的句法功能的词、词组或从句并列在一起的结构，在表达相互平行的概念时，要使用相同的语法结构，即动词与动词并列，形容词与形容词并列，不定式与不定式并列，短语与短语并列。平行结构常使用等立连词and, but, or或连词词组not only…but also…,not.. but, either…or…,neither…nor…,as well as等。例如：
1、(NMET2002)As we climbed the mountain, we fed monkeys, visiting temples and told stories.
2、(NMET2003) I followed her advice and should put down 100 words or so each day.
3、(NMET2003) She liked it very mush and reads it to the class.
四、非谓语动词形式
