In the study of Wee et al. (2009), (Javed et al.

, 2013), Saadiyah and Subramaniam (2009)


Supported the claim of conder in his article where he presents a completely different point of
view by saying those errors are “important in and of themselves”. With this systematic error
analysis can enable teachers to determine the kind of reinforcement needed in teaching.

Krashen (1984) claims that language acquisition occurs naturally and the ability to write is
influenced by the exposure to natural materials and not through the learning of grammar
in isolation. This was contradicted by Corpuz (2011)

It is difficult for the student that have English as a second language especially learning its grammar
this stated was supported by the study of Sumalinog, G, G. (2018), Kim (1988), Bataineh (2005),
Ghadessey (1980), Sattayatham and Honsa (2007), Collins (2007), and Ahmadvand (2008),
prepositions, observing noun-pronoun antecedent, distinguishing English spelling variations,
determining the plural and singular forms of foreign nouns, using correct verb tenses, observing
the agreement of subject and verbs and writing active and passive sentences
tenses, prepositions, articles, plural/singular agreement, adjectives, and conjunctions.
deletion of the indefinite article, writing a as part of the noun/adjective following it, substitution
of the indefinite for the definite article, and substitution of the definite for the indefinite article.
Others were substitution of a for an, use of the indefinite article with unmarked plurals, use of
the indefinite article with marked plurals, use of the indefinite article with uncountable nouns,
and use of the indefinite article with adjectives.
L1 effect

1st language or the native language have a great effect on learning English as a second language. Studies
of Kim (1988), (Karim & Nassaji, 2013), Kubota (1998), Kim (2002) and Maniam (2010), Barto,
Nicol, J. Witzel, and N. Witzel (2009), (Nattama, 2002), EL-Aswad (2002), Yin and Ung (2001)
Hung (2000) has the similarities which they all discover the frequency and role of 1st language
in learning 2nd language especially in the errors they omitted in writing second language.
