3.2. Data Analysis Method
According to Malo in Lubis, 2002: 28, to make researcher easier in analyzing data, the data should be made simpler by classifying and categorizing the
data. Having classified and categorized the data, the data will be analyzed by using error analysis method.
3.2.1. The Procedure of Data Analysis
There are some procedures in doing the analysis of data. Firstly, collecting the data which to be analyzed. Secondly, identifying and analyzed the errors made by
the students by circling the errors. Thirdly, classifying the errors produced, whether it is the error of do do, does, did; have have, has, had, and be is, am, are, was,
were. The next step is to tabulate the errors. Tabulating the errors including count
the errors, put the errors into the tables based on the classification of errors, and
count the percentage of the errors.
To count the errors in percentage, the analysis also uses the formula of Bungin, 2005:171-172.The formula is:
100 x
N fx
n =
Notes: n stands for the percentage of errors
fx stands for the total errors frequency of the sub-category N stands for the total errors of all categories

Having count the percentage of errors, then analyzing the errors based on the classification or types of each error and also based on the mixing of errors is made;
and finally, by looking up the results of the analysis, next steps is drawing some conclusions.

CHAPTER IV THE ANALYSIS
In the preceding chapter, the procedures in doing the analysis of data have been mentioned clearly. Besides, some of those procedures have been done well and
periodically beginning from collecting the data, correcting the data, and identifying the errors produced by circling that error. The results of the analysis of data or the
findings are as follows:
4.1. Classification of Errors
Having identified the errors by circling them, all the data were classified according to their kinds of error: errors in using do auxiliaries do, does, did, errors
in using have auxiliaries have, has, had, errors in using and be auxiliaries is, am, are, was, were.The following table is the data achieved from the test:
No. Type of errors
