Additionally, the study investigated the factors that contribute to the errors committed by Kurdish learners. The participants of this study were 30 third year learners. They were required to write essays. All the sentences in the essays were divided into two categories, correct sentences and incorrect sentences. First, correct sentences were categorized according to the types of SVA. Then, incorrect sentences also were categorized according to the types of SVA. The results of this study showed that the learners used seven types of SVA in both correct and incorrect sentences. The results also indicated that the errors were committed as a result of the interference of the mother tongue and intralanguage factors. In the light of the results of the study, the researcher suggests that remedial actions need to be taken in order to curb this problem. Moreover, the differences between Kurdish and English in the use of subject-verb agreement should be identified in order to inform the learners how to use these rules in English adequately. Also, the Kurdish English teachers should focus more on the rules which are difficult for the learners, and they should also provide clear explanation for the learners to understand better. 2015 thesis https://ir.upsi.edu.my/detailsg.php?det=1662 https://ir.upsi.edu.my/detailsg.php?det=1662 text eng closedAccess Masters Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris Faculty of Languages and Communication N/A
