Before the students did the exercise, the writer had explained the main idea and the subject of the sentence they would arrange. However, no one could rearrange
the words into a good one. The analysis of those parts could be summarized that, in dealing with
simple present tense, the students faced three problems. The first problem was they were confused on how to use verbs to state daily events or activities and
general fact. The second problem was they had not been aware of the existence of time reference in the sentences. The last problem was they found difficulties in
deciding the verbs and to be following singular and plural subjects. Next, the writer also found four problems in case of learning simple past
tense. First, they did not pay attention to the use of time reference. Second, they had not memorized the past participle forms of the irregular verbs well. Third, in
case of compound sentence, they still had misunderstanding with the use of the verbs which usually applied the same time reference. Fourth, they had a problem
with the meaning of simple vocabulary which appeared in the pre test.
