5 is in the form of written compositions. Written grammar is selected because it
tends to occur in formal conversation and writing. Naturally, it requires complete grammar features. Fourth, the researcher will only analyze Subject-Verb
agreement mistakes in the student’s compositions. It is based on the fact that subject and verb are the two most important elements of a sentence, for they are
the minimum requirements for a certain words construction to be called a sentence.
The researcher will also pay attention to some English grammar rules the student can successfully apply in his writing, for it is not viable to expect
perfection from an eleventh grade student. Fifth, the population used as the sampling of the research is limited to the 11th grade students of the international
class of SMAN 3 Yogyakarta. Considering the time limitation, the researcher decides to narrow it down to one research participant who is chosen based on his
distinctive individual characteristics shown during the researcher’s observations as well as the teacher’s recommendation.
