Abstract: The goal of this research is to reduce mistakes or get a satisfactory result in simple present tense. The researcher suggests that the teacher encourage his students to improve their English, especially their writing skills. The teacher should know what to do if he or she knows where most students make mistakes in auxiliary words and word choice. The teacher should help students understand English grammar and vocabulary better. To get a good result, teaching and learning activities must also be improved. The goals of this study are to find out if students make mistakes, what kinds of mistakes they make, and where the mistakes come from among the tenth-grade students at Pandawa Vocational High School. The researcher uses a test and a questionnaire, which are both reliable and valid tools, to collect the data. The information comes from the students in the tenth grade at Pandawa Vocational High School. The researcher uses descriptive qualitative data analysis to figure out what the data mean. The result shows that the average number of mistakes made by students is 51%. It is part of the fair criteria, which is good. The result shows that the students made a total of 177 mistakes. The students make mistakes in 70 miss-formations (39.54 percent), 57 omissions (32.21 percent), 29 miss-orderings (16.39 percent), and 21 additions (11.87 percent).
