Abstract

Students who are learning English as a second language, particularly for writing, may make grammar errors. Some of them will employ the incorrect grammar rules or write with the incorrect structure. The use of subject-verb agreement still causes problems for many students. The purpose of this study was to look into how often students used subject-verb agreement when writing descriptive texts. The information gathered from the result was summarized using a qualitative method. 26 students from SMPN 02 Kencong's 8th grade took part in this study. They studied subject-verb agreement and how to write descriptive texts.When the teacher gave the students the test, observation was done to see how they wrote the descriptive text and to see what types of errors they made. In order to determine the reason why students were misusing subject-verb agreement, the author also conducted an interview. A Google Form interview was conducted to validate the data from the questionnaire and was distributed to all eighth-grade students. It asks 7 questions in order to identify the reason why students used SVA incorrectly. Intralingual and interlingual intereference are two indicators from the interview. The findings revealed that out of a total of 98 errors, students made 75 errors of omission, 8 errors of addition, and 15 errors of misformation. The cause of students errors are in using SVA is interlingual, most of students still write using Indonesia first and then translate it into English. The other cause by intralingual because most of students still do not understand about the subject verb agreement and said that English has complex structures. It indicates that most of students made omission errors and caused by students native language and the complex of English structure itself.
