The Syntactic Errors in Verb Usage by the English Students

            This book was originally taken from a thesis entitled THE SYNTACTIC ERRORS IN VERBS USAGE IN ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAYS MADE BY THE STUDENTS OF MAHASARASWATI UNIVERSITY  written by Ni Komang Putri Widari . The teams  believe that this material is adequate enough to be conversed into a teaching book.  

            This book covers three major subtopics, namely (i) The concept of Mistakes and Errors; (ii) The causes of Errors and (iii) The syntactical Errors

            The pinpoints  of the finding are either (a) syntactic errors in verbs usage in argumentative essays made by the students of English Education Study Program, Mahasaraswati University Denpasar and  (b) analyzing the factors influencing the errors.

            There are  types of errors including : omission of complement verbs, omission of auxiliary verbs, addition of auxiliary verb, misformation of verb after modal, misformation of auxiliary word, misformation of infinitive verb, misformation of past verb, and misformation of -ing form verb.  

            The interlingual and intralingual errors are the factors causing syntactical errors on the English verbs’ usage. The interference of Indonesian grammar and direct translation from students’ L1 when making English sentences was the cause indicate interlingual error. Furthermore, it was also found that the errors made by students was influence of lack knowledge from the target language which is intralingual error.  

            The teams are   expecting very much that this material covered by this book are of course, gaining its substantive aims.
