ABSTRACT

The aim of this study is to examine the grammatical faults found in the introductory proposals of thesis writing among students majoring in English at Jabal Ghafur University. The researcher was chosen for the study due to the prevalence of faults or errors in English among students in the English Department. The writer conducted an analysis to identify and extract flaws included in the introduction sections of three document proposals written by students. The research methodology employed in this particular instance is qualitative in nature. This study is done by classifying and analyzing the graduating paper as the focus of this thesis. There are several common grammatical errors that can occur in writing, including singular/plural errors, verb tense errors, subject-verb agreement errors, verb form errors, and word form errors. The researchers have also identified an additional inaccuracy within the introduction of the proposal. Based on the data that was analyzed, it was determined that this writer had a high frequency and prevalence of certain faults. These errors can be categorized as follows: Singular/Plural Noun Form (16.12%), Verb-Tense Error (4.83%), Verb-Form Error (16.12%), Subject-Verb Agreement (4.83%), and Word-Form Error (58.06%). Additional problems identified in the plan include the incorrect usage of articles, propositions, and conjunctions.
