This study aims to determine the errors of Grade 11 MIA 2 and MIA 3
students of SMA DARUSSALAM in the use of preposition of place and time,
especially in, on and at and the causes of these errors. The method in this research
is descriptive qualitative. Data is taken from student tests by making descriptive
text and then analyzed according to the procedure stated by Corder, which collects
all student data, identifies errors, after being identified then the errors are described
in the error category stated by Duley and the last explains what causes the error. In
this study, researchers took 15 samples of class 11 MIA 2 and MIA 3 students at
DARUSSALAM high school randomly. In addition to researchers taking data from
student test results through descriptive text writing, researchers also conducted
interviews with English grade 11 DARUSSALAM high school teachers.
The results of the analysis of student errors in the use of prepositions of
place and time in descriptive text especially on, in and at were found 41 errors with
details of 32 errors caused by preposition "in", 6 errors caused by preposition "on"
and 3 errors caused by preposition "At". From all the analysis results, errors that
occur are misformation and addition with details of 28 errors misformation by
preposition "in", 4 errors addition by preposition "in", 6 errors misformation by
preposition "on", 2 errors misformation by preposition "at" and a error addition. In
addition, based on the results of the analysis also resulted that the use of student
errors in the use of preposition of place is more than the preposition of time in
descriptive text, namely 36 errors caused by preposition of place and 5 errors caused
by preposition of time. The cause of their mistakes based on the analysis results
according to John Noris'stheory isthe carelessness of students in using prepositions
not according to the rules, the influence of the original language (L1) on their L2
and the last is caused in the process of translating which translates each word
without looking at the words afterwards.
