SMP N 5 Purbalingga in academic year 2015/2016.
The data was analyzed by using the following steps;
1. Analyzing the individual mastery in personal pronoun
To know mastery in the personal pronoun. The writer uses this formula:
Notes:
P = the percentage of the correct answer
F = the frequency of the correct answer
N = the total of the items
For example students no. 28
P
=
= 48%
The complete result of percentage score, could be seen in following table:
Table 4.1
Result of students’ mastery
No Percentage Category Frequency
1 81 – 100 Very Good 1
2 61 – 80 % Good 8
3 41 – 60 % Fair 25
4 21 – 40 % Bad 19
5 0 – 20 % Poor 2
Total 55
Based on the table above, not all students have standard mastery of
personal pronoun. It was found that 2 students belonged to “poor”
category, it is because they only answered 0-20% of the question. There were 19 students who belonged to bad category, 25 students belonged to fair category. Then, there were 8 students who belonged to good category, and only 1 student who belonged to very good category. So, it can be concluded that most of the students were in fair category.

Notes:
P = the percentage of the incorrect answer
F = the frequency of the incorrect answer
N = the total of respondents
For example item no. 18
=
= 43.6 %
Table below provides the result of students‟ error:
The category of number of items
Categories Interval Number of Items Frequency
Based on the table above, items number 1, 2, 5, 10, 14, 24 belongs to low category of error. Then, some of the item such as 3, 7, 9, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 21,23 were in medium category, and items which belongs to high category of error were number 4, 6, 8, 11, 20, 22, 25.
B. Discussion
In this part, the writer will only discusses items which have high precentage of error, those are; 4,6,8,11,20,22,25.
Table 4.3
Based on the table above, there are 8 students or 14.54 % students who know the right answer. This type of error belongs to ignorance rule restriction. It is because most of them fail in oserving the item which requires students to find reflexive pronoun of Rina. They fail in observing that pronoun
of “Rina” is “she”. So, the reflexive pronoun of Rina it should be “herself”, it
Table 4.4
We get good scores. ... scores are A.
Based on the table above, there are 16 students or 29.09 % who know the right answer. This type of error belongs to false concept hypothesized, it is because they could not differentiate when they use posssessive with noun and without noun, and they have incorrect understanding on the differenciation of word meaning in target language.

Table 4.7
They always talk anything about ...
The correct answer : A
Based on the table, there are 11 students or 20 % students who know the right answer. This error belongs to false concept hypothesized, it is because most of them have incorrect understanding of personal pronoun as
object, and they think the correct answer is “he” and “himself”. They still did
not know that personal pronoun as object in this item is “him”. It is because in
Table 4.8 who know the right answer, and other students answer A, C, and D. This type of error belongs to false concept hypothesized, it is because most of them have wrong concept understanding of pronoun, and in Bahasa indonesia there is no specific object pronoun of third person so the students cannot differentiate
object pronoun of “Yuni”.
Rinocheros is scarce animal. A lot of people try to protect ...
The correct answer : B who know the right answer. This type belongs to false concept hypothesized, it
