Abstract
In teaching grammar in this era especially in error recognition, the learners should know and choose the error option. In this research, the researcher took the error recognition in answering the subject verb agreement and parallel structure since these two parts of error recogniton are important parts in grammar. This study aims at evaluating error recognition of Efl learners in subject-verb agreement and parallel structure. This research used quantitative method explained descriptively. since the population was 18 learners, so the sample used in this research was 18 learners. In collecting data, the questions were 30 questions divided into two categories - subject verb agreement and parallel structure. Then, the learners were asked to answer error recognition about subject-verb agreement and parallel structure, counted the score of the correct number and wrong number, and classified the answer based from the form of the question. The result showed that from all questions, the learners' ability in answering error recognition falls into good level. Findings of the research are divided into two things. First, the error recognition in subject-verb agreement is very difficult to answer by the learners since the learners could not differentiate the subject whether it is singular or plural. While second, the error recognition in parallel structure, especially in paired conjunction, it is easy to understand for the learners since the format of paired conjunction and the word used should be parallel. However, in the comparison, it is hard for the learners to choose the parallel structure of comparison. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
