ABSTRACT
This Research Work focused
on the Lexical error analysis in the English among Undergraduates Students. The
research was conducted on essays written by thirty (250) Students of the above
school. The analysis revealed the deficiencies of some of the Students in using
English tense. In the use of the present tense, for instance, Students had more
difficulties in the use of present tense compare to the use of other tense. It
has also been observed that students commit these errors as a result of their
mother tongue interference. It was also found out that the errors were as a
result of poor teaching methods, lack of adequate textbooks and qualified
English teachers. To minimize these problems, we suggest that the government
should provide adequate textbooks on English grammar and qualified English
teachers. So that student in the lower classes should be exposed to the various
situations in which tenses should be used.
