A. Background
Indonesia as a developing country needs to communicate
with other countries in the world. Communication with other countries need
English, because English is used all over the world. The other reason in that,
most of the scientific books in Indonesia
are written in English. So, without knowing English to context of the book
cannot be understood. Therefore, English is one subjects taught from elementary
school to university.
English consists of four skills,
namely listening, speaking, reading and writing. In other to master that,
automatically, grammar must be learnt or taught. Say that grammar is a system of rules governing the conventional arrangement
and relationship or words is a sentence. In order words, grammar tells us how
to construct a sentence. Moreover, grammar is very important to be learn by the

general and used in most situations, for example “Going on a camping holiday
with young children was definitely a mistake”. While error, it is used when
talking about calculations and technical or formal context, such as “I think
there are a few errors in your calculations”
