There were 7 or 38.88% errors in misplace of conjunctive adverbs, 3 or 16.66% errors inappropriate conjunctive adverbs, and 18 or 94.73% used conjunctive adverbs correctly. The occurrence of these errors may be caused by misunderstanding of the teacher’s explanation in the target language and may be also caused by the inability of using rules into context eventhough they have been taught items in the target language repeatedly. The causes of these errors included in the category of intra-lingual errors i.e. the false concept hypothesis and incomplete application of the rules.
