Fejlretning i forskellige kategorier.

I dette lille hæfte finder I fejlretningsopgaverne fra ca. 10 eksamenssæt sorteret ud i forskellige kategorier.
Det ser ud som om det er meget forskelligt fra sæt til sæt hvilke fejltyper der går igen, og derfor har jeg tilføjet nogle sætninger hvor jeg synes at der mangler nogle.
De sætninger som jeg har tilføjet står med kursiv.
