are subject pronoun actually, but 8 students stated that it is object pronoun. It might be seen in the table 10. The 8 students stated YES, it means that they agreed with the statement that
states that she and I are object pronoun. The 7 students disagree with the statement. They, of course, understand that she and I are not object pronouns.

In this item, the statement was stated correctly. It was different from two previous ones. The two previous ones were stated incorrectly, but the goal was still the same. It was to see
whether the students could state the response correctly or not. There were 7 students who
stated correctly, yet 8 students did not. Hers is called possessive pronoun. In English, it is used to avoid doing repetition in
sentence. The topic of the sentence above is My phone and Her phone for instance Dila‟s
phone. Phone is something talked, so it does not have to be repeated. Possessive pronoun must be used to pronominalize the
woman‟s possession.

The last statement was to make sure whether the students have already studied about it, or in other words, their English teacher has already taught them about personal pronoun. The
result, all students stated YES, means that they have already studied about it. To know the
percentage of students‟ errors in using personal pronoun as subject, object and possessive, the researcher used the formula adapted from Sudijono 1989:79.
The result was as follows: P =
F N
x 100 P =
35.07 49
x 100 P = 71.57
Having seen the percentage of students errors in using personal pronoun, the researcher took conclusion that the per
centage of students‟ errors was classified as High. It is based on
classification standard adapted from Depdikbud 1993:37 that 65 - 100 is classified as high.
