A. Conclusions

From the data, the researcher found that subject-verb agreementerrorswere frequently occurred in Exploring Jogja Magazine I and II.From the analysis of the data, the researcher found 135 grammatical errors of subject-verb agreement and passive voice. In detail, the researcher found 75 56 errors in subject- verb agreement and60 44 errors in passive voice. There were 56 75 errors in the omission of subject-verb agreement, 2 3 errors in the addition, and 17 22 errors in misformation of subject-verb agreement. In other case, the omission of passive voice was 39 errors or 65 and misformation of passive voice was 21 errors or 35. From the research results, the omissions of subject-verb agreement were the most type of errors found in Exploring Jogja Magazine I and IIwith 56 errors or 75. To sum up, the researcher concluded that the causes for the errors were the interlingual and intralingual interferences. Specifically, the cause of errors in 60 subject-verb agreement was the mother tongue interference or interlingual error since Bahasa Indonesia does not have a rule for singular or plural verbs. Meanwhile, the researcher found the cause for passive voice was the intralingual or the difficulty of the target language itself, in this case, the target language was English. The writer had difficulties in analyzing the past participle form. However, the grammatical errors in Exploring Jogja MagazineI and II should not occurin the future since Exploring Jogja MagazineI and IIwere published by Yogyakarta Tourism Authority. The Exploring Jogja Magazine I and IIstill need a guidance to improve the awareness toward several concepts like the rule of subject-verb agreement and passive voice. Therefore, this research provided three recommendations discussed in the next subchapter in order to improve the writer ‟s mastery on the use of subject-verb agreement and passive voice. The recommendations could be used by Exploring Jogja MagazineI and IIas magazines in order to have good quality of English language.
