Abstract

The differences between the language systems of Bahasa Indonesia and English result in significant confusion when students attempt to use prepositions of place. An initial investigation with the English teacher of tenth-grade students at SMA Laksamana Negeri revealed that the students lacked proficiency in grammatical matters, particularly regarding prepositions of place. The research objectives are to identify the types of errors in the use of prepositions in descriptive texts made by tenth-grade students at SMA Laksamana Negeri and to determine the most frequent type of errors in the use of prepositions in descriptive texts made by tenth-grade students at SMA Laksamana Negeri. The researcher employed a descriptive qualitative study design to examine the mistakes students made when using place-specific prepositions in descriptive texts. The research was conducted at SMA Laksamana Negeri located in Desa Pasir Emas, Kecamatan Batang Tuaka, Kabupaten Indragiri Hilir, Riau. The population of the research consisted of tenth-grade students at SMA Laksamana Negeri, and the sample comprised 15 students from Class A. Upon completion of the research, the researcher drew several conclusions based on the texts produced by tenth-grade students, specifically regarding their errors in using prepositions of place. Corder's errors in descriptive writing involving prepositions of place included: (1) omission of prepositions (8.98%), (2) addition of prepositions (29.59%), and (3) misformation of incorrect prepositions (61.53%), all of which were found in the writing samples from tenth-grade students at SMA Laksamana Negeri. The most common error type observed was the addition of incorrect prepositions (61.53% of all errors) in sentences related to prepositions of place.
