TENSE ERRORS IN ENGLISH ESSAYS OF SECONDARY
SCHOOL STUDENTS
ABSTRACT
This Research Work focused on the tense errors in the English essays
of Secondary Schools Students. The research was conducted on essays written by
thirty (30) Students of the above school. The analysis of the essays revealed
the deficiencies of some of the Students in using English tense. In the use of
the present tense, for instance, Students had more difficulties in the use of
present tense compare to the use of other tense. It has also been observed that
students commit these errors as a result of their mother tongue interference.
It was also found out that the errors were as a result of poor teaching methods,
lack of adequate textbooks and qualified English teachers. To minimize these
problems, we suggest that the government should provide adequate textbooks on
English grammar and qualified English teachers. So that student in the lower
classes should be exposed to the various situations in which tenses should be
used.
