Key words: grammatical error, descriptive text.
Learning English becomes more and more important nowadays since we know that English is one of the international languages which can be used to communicate around the world. In Indonesia, English is learnt as a foreign language. Learning a different language is sometimes difficult since the target language has different elements compared to the native language. These differences sometimes cause students to make errors when using it.
This study primarily deals with grammatical error analysis. It describes the grammatical errors made by the eleventh grade students of MAN Kandat, especially class IPA which consists of 22 students in writing descriptive text. I use the qualitative approach of which the data were obtained from the students’ descriptive text writing. These writings were then analyzed. The grammatical errors were classified into seven groups. They were errors in producing verb group, errors in subject-verb agreement, errors in the use of articles, errors in the use of prepositions, errors in noun pluralization, errors in the use of pronouns, and errors in the use of conjunctions.
From the result in chapter IV I can conclude that the students made 127 grammatical errors which were classified into 64 errors in producing verbal groups, 3 errors in subject-verb agreement, 30 errors in the use of article, 10 errors in the use of preposition, 12 errors in pluralization, 4 errors in the use of pronoun, 4 errors in the use of conjunction.
