短文改错对代词的考查主要涉及人称代词的前后一致性(包括指代的一致性和单复数的一致性)、人称代词的主格与宾语变化、各类代词的误加与漏用(尤其是一些易受汉语影响的结构)、某些不定代词的用法(尤其是在意思上用错)、代词在某些习语中的用法等。

真题单句归纳：

(1) David pointed to a path which it he thought would probably lead to avillage. (去掉 it，因它与其前的关系代词which 语义重复) (全国卷)

(2) And I can‘t forget the good food you cooked for I. (I 改为me，因介词之后的人称代词要用宾格) (全国卷)

(3) For example， when he bought a chocolate cake， he put them in a secretplace I couldn‘t find. (them 改为it，因它指代上文提到的a chocolate cake) (北京春季卷)

(4) And every year more and more people start a stamp collection of yourown (your 改为 their，主语是 more and more people，故用代词their)(浙江卷)

(5) What‘s more， you have to be friendly with your pupils and take good care of him. (him 改为 them，因为此处要代替的是 your pupils) (湖北卷)
