The writer found that some students omitted, added some letters and mis- selected mis-formation the past form of the verb. After classified students’ errors based on the Surface Taxonomy Categories, the writer calculated the number of each error types to know the frequency of occurrence of each error types. This calculation used the formulae of descriptive analysis technique as can be seen as below: P = x 100 Explanation: P = Percentage f = frequency of each error type frequency of wrong answer n = sum of the errors From the formula above, the writer make a percentage of the errors on the table below: Table 4.6 Frequency of Error in Past Tense of Regular and Irregular Verbs Number of items Frequency of Error Total Frequency of Error of Each Number Percentage O m is si on A dd it ion Mi sse lec ion mis for m a ti on M is -ord er in g B lends 1. 1 3 4 0.89 2. 10 10 2.23 3. 8 15 23 5.13 4. 18 18 4.02 5. 5 2 13 2.90 6. 5 5 1.12 7. 25 25 5.58 8. 1 1 2 0.45 9. 13 13 2.90 10. 4 21 25 5.58 11. 12 5 17 3.79 12. 1 12 13 2.90 13. 18 18 4.02 14. 5 7 12 2.67 15. 1 17 18 4.02 16. 5 18 23 5.13 17. 9 3 4 16 3.57 18. 8 15 23 5.13 19. 4 7 4 15 3.35 20. 10 2 12 2.67 21. 23 23 5.13 22. 1 1 12 14 3.12 23. 15 10 25 5.58 24. 3 3 0.67 25. 21 2 23 5.13 26. 1 5 6 1.33 27. 20 20 4.46 28. 2 6 8 1.78 29. 4 12 16 3.57 30. 1 4 5 1.12 Total 84 46 319 449 100.00 From the table above, the number of errors that made by 25 students in YPN Bojong Gede are 449 incorrect answer with different number of each types. In this case, the students did 84 omission, 46 additions, and 319 mis-selection mis-formation in using regular and irregular verbs.
