المستخلص: This study is an attempt to investigate patterns and distribution of tense and aspect errors in a representative corpus of written discourse by 50 Sudanese English majors at a large public university. Combining the tools of Error Analysis and the more recent Discourse Analysis, this research innovatively endeavors to explicate errors elicited according to accredited taxonomies of tense and aspect against the larger textual backdrop. Findings indicate that syntactic errors pervade students' written production to such a degree as to render much of the tenor of discourse almost unintelligible. Also, of the tense systems, tense-shifts have proved the most problematic, amounting to roughly half of all tense errors and the bulk of these pertain to narrative essays. The processes of replacement, addition, omission and misformation have been identified as the primary sources of these problems. Most replacement errors retain the simple past and they dominated narrative writing. As for both omission and addition processes, a substantial proportion has involved 3rd-person’ and past-marker ed' inflectional morphemes. Overall, inexplicable shifts from the 'simple past' to the 'simple present’ were the most recurrent tense-shift in the corpus and the majority of these were found in narrative essays. In argumentative writing, by contrast, replacement tense errors including 'the perfect present' were much more conspicuous. Finally, it was uncovered that the latter errors were chiefly attributable to intra/interlingual factors as well as the subjects' ignorance of writing conventions in English.
