The most of errors of second language learners make indicates that they are gradually building an second language rule systems. According Heidi Dulay,
the most common errors that learners make are: a. Omitting grammatical morphemes, which are items that do not contribute
much to the meaning of sentences, as in: He hit car. b. Double marking a semantic feature e.g. past tense when only one marker is
required as in: She did not went back. c. Regularizing rules, as in womans for women.
d. Using archiforms one form in place of several, such as the use of her for both she and her, as in: Her dances with my brother.
e. Using two or more forms in random alternation even though the language requires the use of each only under certain conditions as in the random use of
and she regardless the gender of the person of interest. Misordering items
in constructions that require a reversal of word order rules that had been previously acquired as in: what are you doing? Or misplacing
items that may be correctly place in more than one place in the sentence, as in: they are all the time late
