Abstract

This study aims to describe the types of errors in the use of conjunctions in news texts written by seventh-grade students at Colomadu Public Junior Hingh School 3. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with research data in the form of sentences in news texts written by seventh-grade students that show errors in the use of conjunctions. Data were collected through observation, documentation, and listening-note-taking techniques, then analyzed using the agih (distribution) method with the BUL (Direct Element Distribution) technique and the ganti (replacement) technique. The results showed that out of 10 news texts written by students, there were 14 sentences containing errors in the use of conjunctions, namely 4 sentences containing the coordinating addition conjunction "dan" (and) and 1 sentence contradiction "tetapi" (but). There were 3 sentences with subordinate conjunctions of time, such as "sejak" (since) "setelah," (after) "selanjutnya" (next) and "habis" (after); 1 sentence with the cause conjunction "karena" (because); 1 sentence with the purpose conjunction "agar" (so that) ; 1 sentence with the explanatory conjunction "seperti" (like); 1 senteces with comparative conjunction "yaitu" (namely); 1 sentence with the result conjunction "sehingga." (so that). In addition, there are 1 sentence with the inter-sentence conjunction "sementara itu" (meanwhile).
