The writer obtained the data from three classes of Writing IV. There were 34 essays which was used by the writer to conduct the study. After obtaining the data, the writer analyzed the data to answer the research questions. The writer found that the total errors in types of errors were 187 errors and they were divided into: (1) Omission as much as 97 (51,9%) errors, (2) Addition (Simple Addition) as much as 18 (9,6%) errors, and (3) Misformation as much as 72 (38,5%) errors. Moreover, the total causes of errors were 310 causes and they were divided into: (1) Interference Errors as much as 10 (3,2%) causes, (2) Intralingual Errors as much as 300 (96,8%) causes. Intralingual errors were divided into: (1) Ignorance of Rule Restriction as much as 111 (35,8%) causes, Incomplete Application of Rules as much as 91 (29,4%) causes, and False Concepts Hypothesized as much as 98 (31,6%) causes.
