The result of the research showed that the students made 412 errors in their recount texts which are classified into: simple past tense (34.7%), preposition (6.1%), pronoun (3.9%), spelling (10.7%), and punctuation (44.7%). The dominant error is punctuation. The dominant errors occurred because the students pay less attention to the use of good and correct punctuation. They are apathetic to the use of punctuation.
