This study was conducted in the eight-year students of SMP N 2 Gunungsari. There were 63 students in the eight-year students divided into three classes as population. From the population of this study, it was taken one class (class C) with 20 students as the sample by applying cluster random sampling with a qualitative descriptive method. This study used error classification proposed by Azar’s in Ma’rif (2013) classifying errors into fourteen categories, namely singular-plural, add a word, verb tense, omit a word, word form, word choice, word order, incomplete sentence, punctuation, capitalization, article, spelling, meaning not clear, and run-on sentence. The instruments which were used were an essay test and interview, and they were submitted in form of documentation. In the test, the students were asked to write an essay in fifty words with the topic holiday. Meanwhile, data from interview was used to obtain the sources of errors made by the students.

From the error analysis, it was found that there were 166 errors in details of the the errors of the verb tense 51 errors (31.32%), word choice 27 errors (16.26%), word form 20 errors (12.04%), capitalization 14 errors (8.43%), omit a word 12 errors (7.22%), spelling 13 errors (7.83%), add a word 8 errors (4.81%), singular-plural 6 errors (3.61%), punctuation 5 errors (3.01%), meaning not clear 5 errors (3.01%), and word order 4 errors (2.40%).
