Abstract

Structure is one of the language components, which is very important for the students to learn. Using the variant of tenses is also one of the problems faced by the students in their study, such as simple present tense usage in their composition. They sometimes do not know when to use present tense. They normally made errors when they were asked to write English in form paragraph, especially descriptive composition. Based on the observation, the researcher found some problems related to the students’ errors in using simple present tense in descriptive text composition at the tenth year students of SMA N
2 Kotabumi North Lampung. The objective of this research were to find out what kinds of errors employed by the students in writing descriptive text and to find what are the most dominant errors made by students. In collecting the data, the writer assigned the tenth year students (class X Science 4) of SMA N 2 Kotabumi North Lampung to arrange descriptive text writing based on the guidlines given. There were three topics; people, animals, and things. The percentages of the grammatical errors were done by the students at the tenth year students os SMA N 2 Kotabumi North Lampung in using simple present tense in descriptive text based on surface strategy taxonomy; 45 items or 24,06% of omission errors, 30 items or 16,04% of addition errors, 94 items or 50,26% of misformation errors, 18 items or 9,62% of misordering errors. Based on explanation above it can be concluded that the highest error was done by the students at the tenth year of SMA N 2 Kotabumi North Lampung in using simple present tense in descriptive text writing was misformation errors which covered 94 of misformation errors or 50,26% of the total errors.
