This chapter discusses and presents about research findings that includes the data description, analysis and interpretation.
A. Description of the Data
The writer gave a 20-item test to students which focused on Passive Voice in Past Tense. The writer analyzed each students’ error in student’s answer
based on Ellis’ steps, they are Collecting of the sample of learner language,
Identifying the errors, Describing of errors, then Explaining the errors. The data of identifying the error is obtained in Appendix 1.
By analyzing the students’ answer sheets, the writer obtained their common error in the following table:
Table 4.1 Recapitulation of Type of Error No.
Type of Error Frequency
Percerntage
1. Misformation
217 86.8
2. Absent or Wrong Preposition Before
19 7.6
3. Passive Order but Active Form
6 2.4
4. Making Intransitive Verbs Passive
8 3.2
Based on the table 4.1 above, it can be concluded that the highest until the lowest frequency and the percentage of errors made by students derives from
Misformation of Passive Verb with 217 errors or 86.8, Absent Or Wrong Preposition Before with 19 errors or 7.6, Making Intransitive Verbs Passive
with 8 errors or 3.2 and Passive Order but Active Form with 6 errors or 2.4.
The chart below represents the recapitulation of errors made by students:

total sentences, the writer collected 250 errors. After presenting the error types based on Dullay, the writer would like to
explain the highest until the lowest frequency of error, percentage of each errors that occured in students’ writing and causes of errors based on H. Douglas Brown.
