Teaching perfect tense to Libyan students is a challenging situation, which needs more effort from teachers and students. From this perspective, this research aimed to investigate the perfect tense errors encountered by Arab speaking undergraduate students. This research tried to answer two research questions. The first research question involved the identification of errors, which Arab undergraduate students committed during their use of English perfect tenses. The second research question was to know if these errors resulted from the negative mother tongue interference (interlingual errors) or just due to the misuse of rules of English language (intralingual errors). To conduct this study, data was collected from essays written by the participants during writing 4 class during the Spring semester of the academic year 2023. Using the Error analysis approach, current research analysed 100 English essays written by 20 Arabic speaking Libyan female students at the College of Arts - Alasmarya Islamic University. The results revealed that the students tended to replace present perfect tense with present simple tense more than with past simple tense. Moreover, the participants replaced past perfect tense with past simple tense more than with other tenses. The results also revealed that these errors were commonly interlingual errors as the participants replaced the perfect tense, which is not found in their mother language, with other tenses found in their mother language. Based on the findings of the research, the researcher proposed a set of recommendations. |
