Abstract

Grammar plays an important role in language skills, such as speaking, reading, listening and also writing. However, in a real situation, the first-year students of senior high school who have learned the simple past tense still have difficulties in applying the tense when they are writing an essay, that is a recount text. Since the simple past tense is related with recount text, the students have to master the simple past tense itself; not only the rules but also the use of the simple past tense in writing. There were seventy-five students of YPPI I senior high school taken as the subject of this study. The tests given were about grammar, that is the simple past tense and writing, that is a recount text. The scores obtained were computed using Pearson Product Moment Correlation formula. The result shows that there is a positive correlation. This means that there is a correlation between the simple past tense achievement and recount writing achievement. Therefore, the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted.
