Abstract : Perpustakaan Tuanku Bainun
Writing good sentences is not a skill that comes easily and automatically. Instead, it must be developed slowly and steadily through a lot of practice. The purpose of this study is to identify the verb phrase errors that students make in their composition. In order to meet the purpose of this study, the researcher conducted an error analysis on verb tenses in the essays of twenty Form Four students of School A. This study is also carried out to identify the possible causes of verb tense errors and to provide a better understanding of the nature of these errors. A systematic analysis of the types and frequencies of verb phrase errors was discussed and illustrated with examples of errors that were committed by the participants concerned. In addition, the researcher discussed various interpretations of the results of the study and suggested a number of recommendations for future research in the field of error analysis.
