From 124b, it was clear that the verb did not show parallelism. Another problem was the clause was a coordinate clause, not a subordinate clause.
2. The Students’ Mastery on the Non-finite Clauses
The students’ mastery on the non-finite clauses was determined by the value of the mean. The mean of the test scores was 43.59 out of 100. In other words, the
average of the final score achieved by each student was 43.59. It was obvious that the score was still below the minimum standard of mastery, which is 56 from
the maximum score. The score was categorized as poor E. In conclusion, the students had not mastered the non-finite clauses and their mastery fell on the
category of poor E. This fact means that the students still had problems in constructing sentences using the non-finite clauses correctly.

CHAPTER V CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTIONS
This chapter consists of two parts. The first part deals with the conclusions drawn from the research result and data analysis. The second part presents some
suggestions to the lecturers, the students, and future researchers.
A. Conclusions
The research was aimed to find out the mastery of the non-finite clauses of the sixth semester students of the English Language Education Study Program of
Sanata Dharma University. There were two problems that were discussed in the research. They were 1 What are the errors the students commit in using the non-
finite clauses? and 2 What is the mastery of the non-finite clauses of the sixth semester students of the English Language Education Study Program of Sanata
Dharma University? In order to answer the two research questions, a test was used as the instrument of the research. The test was divided into two parts, each part
consisted of fifteen items. The errors committed by the students in the test were classified and discussed further. Besides, the results of the test were used to
determine the students’ mastery in using the non-finite clauses. The errors the students’ committed in each type of subordinate clauses were
classified into several categories. The errors committed by the students in producing the non-finite adjective clauses were 1 the occurrence of finite
subordinate clauses, 2 confusion between defining and non-defining adjective PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
