CHAPTER V CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTIONS
A. Conclusion
From the previous data, the writer concluded that the commonest error on the use of tenses which most students made is using Simple Past
Tense. Its frequency is 61 errors. Those are caused by difficulty in putting the right verbs. Then, the error on Simple Present Tense is 18 errors. It is
followed by errors of add proposition “to” caused by ignorance of rule restriction. The third error is simple Future. Its frequency is 7 errors. It is
followed by errors of add “to be”, proposition “to”, and “V-ing” caused by
the less of student‟s understanding in using Simple Future tense. Then, the error on using Present Continuous Tense and Past Continuous Tense is 2
errors. It is followed by the student‟s carelessness.
The reasons why they made many errors in English free writing focused on the use of tenses are because of Intra-Lingual Transfer and
Inter-Lingual Transfer.
B. suggestions
Some suggstion are needed by the english teachers in order to avoid the students of making some errors, that is why the writer feels that it is a
must to give some suggestions and hopefully, they are worthwhile, some suggestions are given below.
1. The techers must give repetition and pay more attention of Simple Past
Tense more than any others tenses. 2.
The teachers must give and explain in every single detail. 3.
The teachers must try some teaching methods that are suitable for the students, so they do not feel bored.
4. The teachers must create a good atmosphere in the class in order to get
the students‟ attention as well as their interest too. 5.
The teachers must give the test as much as possible. Eventhough the students still make errors, they will find a new case and it will be very
worth for them.
