While in cycle II with the group division, the errors made were lessened compared to the second group (with picture series), those are: 1) agreement of subject and verb (8 errors); 2) connectors (5 errors); and 3) time expressions (2 errors). On the other hand, the first group (without picture series) did not have much improvement. The first group made errors as follows: 1) agreement of subject and verb (17 errors); 2) connectors (12 errors); and 3) time expressions (7 errors).
