Abstract

This research is about analyzing students’ ability in forming irregular verbs at the tenth grade of MA Al-Iman Ponorogo. Communicative approach that is used by school in learning process makes students recognize that English is important in instructional process. In communication, students do not care about grammar. For students the main point in communication is that the audience can understand what they mean. Students’ awareness of irregular verb is low, so they consider that memorizing irregular verb is not important. Thus, they find difficulty in forming irregular verb. This research analyzes the students’ ability in forming irregular verb, the students’ problems in forming irregular verbs and how the teacher solves the students’ problem. The data are collected by the test, interview with the teacher and some of the students, and the observation in the classroom. The instruments of this research are students’ the test, interview guideline, and observation check list. This research finds that many students have difficulty in forming irregular verbs. It is proven by students’ score. There are 14 students get good score and 21 students get poor score. Some of students’ problems are that they memorize only a few irregular verbs, some others find that irregular verb is difficult because it does not have formula. In this case, the teacher does not have other methods except memorizing vocabularies, irregular verbs and giving students task to make them practice in using irregular verbs. Thus, students feel bored in learning English.
