, this utterance was ambiguous error because it can be categorized as a developmental error or an interlingual error. The omission
of auxiliary verb is like the children‟s error i.e. developmental error. However, the absence of auxiliary verb also is like the participant‟s native language “Kamu
harus mendeskripsikan sesuatu hanya kepada seorang lawan jadi lawan yang lain
harus diam”. The participant‟s native language does not use an auxiliary to express the same condition although it was needed in English. For the correction,
it should be [25.b] You must describe the thing just to one opponent so the other opponents should be silent
.

i. Global Error
The global errors that the participant made were 7.32. Those errors significantly hinder the communication. The audiences could not understand what
the participants said clearly because the meaning of the sentence was changed. The omission „to‟ changes the meaning of the sentence. For example, [27.a]
Now, I will explain you about how to play this game, the „to‟ is needed to make
the sentence correct. Based on the utterance, „you‟ is indirect object and “explain” is a transitive verb. Therefore, thi
s utterance needs „to‟ to show the correct meaning. It should be [27.b] Now, I will explain to you how to play this game.
The other global error is the omission of the auxiliary verb. In this utterance, [28.a] Realia made using real item is the passive voice. The passive
voice needs the auxiliary verb „be‟. The absence of auxiliary „is‟ changed the meaning of the sentence and makes the sentence confusing. Hence, the correction
is [28.b] Realia is made by using real item.
