“…A number of studies have tried to unpack the reasons why the students have difficulty learning the simple past tense. Wahyuningtyas & Bram (2018) in their study with the first semester students of Language Education students found that students had difficulty in remembering the formula of the tenses and that these formulas are hard to comprehend. Interestingly, these students admit that they rarely review their grammar lessons independently.…”

Nursing students learn General English (GE) to prepare them to study English for Nursing as their core subject. The primary goal of GE is to prepare them to be able to talk about daily topics and grammar points including simple past tense which was taught implicitly. In fact, teaching grammar is assumed to be trivial lately as teachers shift to more into English teaching trends. Therefore, it is important to go to the root and find ways to help students with their grammar struggle. This study seeks to find the nursing students’ error in simple past tense through scrutinizing their writing and thus can evaluate the teaching grammar method. The methodology was descriptive quantitative where 50 students’ writing assignments were the data. The errors were identified in the table and were classified based on the error types based on Duly’s surface strategy taxonomy. The errors were then analysed quantitatively to find percentages of the errors. The excerpts from the students’ writing were included in the result to support the analysis. The findings indicate that mis-formation were the biggest errors with 57.59%, mis-ordering with 20.98%, addition with 12.95%, and omission with the smallest error with 8.48%. The analysis indicates that the interlingual and intralingual transfer contribute to these errors made. Thus, there needs to be a reflection on the grammar teaching done in nursing students now. Teachers should focus on helping the students with their grammar difficulties and flexibly switch the teaching implicitly and explicitly to suit the students need.

The primary goal of learning a foreign language is to be able to communicate in the language, both in spoken and written form. This is also the case for Indonesian learners especially learners of English Language Education Program in ULM who learn English as their major. However, most of them believe that without abundant knowledge of grammar, they will not be able to speak or even write in English well. One of the problems they face is that they still doubt or confuse which tense(s) of English they have to use when they speak or write. This study aimed at finding out the learners’ problems batch 2018 in using English tenses by using a multiple choice test and a questionnaire. The study employed a quantitative approach and described the result in descriptive form. The subject of this study was the whole population of English Language Education Program batch 2018, in total 98 students. The findings reveal that most of them have problems with past perfect tense (61%), past perfect continuous tense (61%), and future perfect continuous tense (67%). These problems related to the difficulty in applying the aspect and tense in the right context, first language interference, lack of practice and repetition, and students’ confidence in using the language. It is suggested that language teachers should focus their language instruction not only to form but also to function and meaning of the tenses. Additionally, using various techniques suited to teaching tenses is advisable to increase students’ to increase communicative skills.
