In this research, the writer found that the most error is in formulating the regular verbs. For examples:
Last night, the baby crieed in his room. Andy’s grandfather dieed when he was 85 years old.
Andy’s grandfather dieded when he was 85 years old.
Error correction a
Last night, the baby cried in his room.
b
Andy’s grandfather died when he was 85 years old.
The examples above showed that students failed added certain item which should not exist in their answer. Besides false in formulating regular verbs, the
students also committed errors by adding unnecessary element which is not applied in the target language, such as in the following examples:
I mett my old friend in the restaurant yesterday. Zamzami satd in the chair because he was tired.
Thus, the suggested corrections are: c
I met my old friend in the restaurant yesterday.
d
Zamzami sat in the chair because he was tired.
c. Mis-selection Mis- formation
This type of error occurs if there students used the wrong item of the regular and irregular verbs. From the data, many students did this errors by
transformed the verb into other words which have similar pronunciation with the verbs. Many of them also did not use the right form of the verbs, because they
simplified the irregular verbs only by adding –d -ed like in regular verbs. The
errors are illustrated as follows:
