about what probably happens if President Lyon B. Johnson were still alive, but in fact the president is died.
2.3 The Theoretical Framework
The topic of this research is contrastive analysis about English and Arabic verb forms, since the discussion focuses on the internal aspects of languages that is
verb systems, so this research belongs to microlinguistic contrastive analysis. The discussions about contrastive analysis of English and Arabic verb forms cover the
discussions about morphological and syntactical aspect. On the morphological aspect the discussion is focused on the inflectional word formation, this formation deals with
the syntactical aspects which are tense, aspect, mood, and subject-verb agreement. The results of this study are expected to have theoretical and practical benefits. The
results are expected to present necessary information for gaining linguistics knowledge and for specific purposes in applied linguistics fields, such as language
teaching and translation. The mind mapping of this research can be seen in the following diagram:

CHAPTER 3.RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This chapter explains the research method, the data collection method, and the data analysis method. The research method explains about the research
method and design used in this thesis. The data of the research explains about the type of data, the source of the data, and the way in which the researcher collects
the data. The data analysis explains the steps in which the researcher processes the data.
3.1 The Research Method
There are many types of research that can be used by the researcher in conducting a research. According to Blaxter et.al 1996:59, based on the types of
the data research types are classified into quantitative or qualitative research. Quantitative research is the research that uses the numeric form of data,
meanwhile qualitative research is the research that uses non-numeric data, qualitative research tends to focus on exploring the research objects, in as much
detail as possible. Furthermore, Strauss and Corbin 2007:4 explained qualitative research as a kind of research that the findings are not obtained from statistic
procedures or any other quantification forms. From the description above, it can be said that this research belongs to qualitative research which is done under the
purpose to give a clear explanation about the object analyzed. The types of the research can also be classified based on the source of the
data, according to Blaxter et.al 1996:59, based on the source of the data, the research types are classified into deskwork and fieldwork. Deskwork research
involves research processes that do not necessary to go to the field, meanwhile fieldwork researchinvolves the processes of collecting the data outside of a
laboratory, library, or workplace. Based on those explanation, so this research belongs to the deskwork research because the data are collected from library
searches and the researcher is not necessary to go to the field to collect the data. According to Blaxter et al.1996:62, deskwork research may include the postal
