In a study done by Musa,Lie and Azman(2007,) showed that using the correct form of English grammar is the main problem with Malaysian students’ writing. The two recurrent grammatical errors in descriptive writing that form one students always make are the misuse of sentences construction.

Consequently, these sentences construction grammar errors has made many of these form one students struggled even in building proper grammar free sentences while writing a descriptive essay.To explain further, in a research done by (Malini 2017)errors in tenses are the utmost highest among the form one students from different primary backgrounds as they intend to get confused or mix various sentences patterns to be written in a body paragraph.
