Abstract
This survey is mainly done for identifying the grammatical errors in Malay Language essay writing of form five students. It focuses on the wrong usage of three kinds of grammatical items; ; subject-verb-agreement, conjunction and pluralization. A total of 30 form five students from Guar Chempedak Secondary School participated in this survey. The data are analysed by using the descriptive statistic to find out the frequency and the percentage of the errors found in the essay. The finding indicates that a number of 279 grammatical errors (subject-verb agreement, conjunction and pluralization) are done by the students. The most significant error is the wrong usage of conjunction, follows by the wrong usage of pluralization and subject-verb-agreement. Various factors have been identified as the causes of the error : the weaknesses of students, teachers and as well as the Ministry of Education.
