Abstract

One of the aspects to support writing skills is grammar. unfortunately, many students lack grammar knowledge. They made a lot of errors in the recount text. The purpose of this study was to identify the kinds and frequency of grammatical errors found in students' recount texts as well as to determine the reasons behind them. The research design that was adopted was descriptive qualitative. The instruments for gathering data were semi-structured interviews and documentation. The results of this research showed that there were five kinds of grammatical errors: noun phrase (determiner, nominalization, number, pronoun, and preposition), verb phrase (removal verb, using progressive tense, and subject-verb agreement), word order, transformation, and verb-and-verb construction. The frequent grammatical issues were subject-verb agreement, determiner, and removal of verb). Therefore, the reasons behind them were carelessness and interlingual. Taken together, these results could help students’ understanding of grammar and minimized the kinds of errors made by them.
