C. Discussion
The writer analyzes only the questions table 1 whose the percentage students’ incorrect answers are 60 and above to find out the problems found by
students in mastery of subjunctive. Then, the data analyzed are fifteen questions namely question 2 64, 3 67, 4 67, 5, 87, 7 94, 9 64, 11
90, 12 77, 15 67, 17 70, 19 64, 21 77, 22 64, 24 67 and 25 84.
The collected data that will be analyzed are as follows:
1. Question 2 Present Subjunctive
• The purposes: -
to measure the students’ ability of present subjunctive -
to find out the problems faced by the students • Indicators:
- the students know the pattern of present subjunctive
- the students know the difference between present and past
subjunctive -
the students know the fact sentence of present subjunctive • The item:
“He orders the people as if he were the owner of the restaurant”
From the above statement, we may conclude that______. A.
he was worked hard to own the restaurant B.
he has been the owner of the restaurant C.
he is proud of his restaurant
D. he is just an ordinary employee
E. he is a successful businessman
From table 1 above the writer finds 19 students cannot answer the
question correctly. Here the analysis: The right answer is option D he is just an ordinary employee. From
the data has been gathered, this is what exactly happens; 3 students no 6, 18, 27 10 choose option A he was worked hard to own the restaurant, 14
students no 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 9, 12, 13, 16, 20, 21, 24, 25, 28 46 choose option he has been the owner of the restaurant, one student no 15 3 chooses
option C he is proud of his the restaurant, 11 students no 4, 7, 10, 11, 17, 19, 22, 23, 26, 29, 30 36 choose option D he is just an ordinary employee,
and one student no 14 3 chooses option E he is a successful business. The option D he is just an ordinary employee indicates that the statement
“He orders the people as if he were the owner of the restaurant” is subjunctive
of were, therefore, it means in fact that the person he in the statement is
possibly just an ordinary employee or even he is not an employee. And the rest students are incorrect because they don’t know the pattern of present
subjunctive and they just guess the answers.
2. Question 3 Present Subjunctive
• The purposes: -
to measure the students’ ability of present subjunctive -
to find out the problems faced by the students • Indicators:
- the students know the pattern of present subjunctive
- the students know the difference between present and past
subjunctive -
the students know the fact sentence of present subjunctive • The item:
“Is Evi still sick?” “Yes, I wish she ____ here now to help me type the report”.
A. is
B. will be
C. were
D. had been
E. would be
From table 1 above the writer finds 20 students cannot answer the question correctly. Here the analysis:
The right answer is option C were. From the data has been gathered, this is what exactly happens; 4 students no 7, 10, 21, 30 13 choose option
A is. They choose it because they might think the concord of she is is, and
it’s absolutely correct if it is in simple present form, 10 students no 1, 2, 5, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 23, 29 33 choose option B will be, 10 students no 3, 6, 14,
15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 22 33 choose option C were. They choose it correctly because the statement of wish in present tense, based on the pattern
of present subjunctive whatever the subject, its predicate is were because in
the fact Evi is not here now to help you type the report, one student no 27
3 chooses had been. Here, both answers between were and had been are subjunctive but had been is used for past subjunctive. The last, 5 students no
24, 25, 26, 28 16 choose would be. 3.
