They are to support the development of those basic competences.

The students are expected to be able to communicate in English using correct structure. Structure or grammar is one of the basic components of language which must be learnt by students.

(b)   I usually read the newspaper in the morning.

(Betty Schrampfer Azar, 2003:4).

The use of simple present tense often makes students’ of SMP Negeri 1 Barabai confused with its complexity. They usually have some problems in finding out the verb form of simple present tense. They often write “He walk to school every day” instead of “He walks to school every day”. The third singular persons such as he, she, and it need suffix -s/-es for the verb. It shows that students do not consider that in English there are verbs formed in singular or plural. Students’ still confuse to use do or does in negative and interrogative sentences in simple present tense.

To analyze the data uses the quantitative method, which after the data obtained it is interpreted with statistic to exam the hypothesis in this research.

1.      To find out individual score the formula used is:

P = Percentage                                    N = Number of sample

F = Frequency of wrong answer

(Quoted by Raudatul Inayah, 2009: 13)

2.      To know the group average score or mean score the formula used is:

M = Mean score                      x = Total score

∑ = Sum of                             N = Number of students

(Quoted by Raudatul Inayah, 2009: 14)

3.      The data will be interpreted by using the following category constructed based on the theoretical norm category which has been converted into the following table:

Score	Qualification
