The method of this research is descriptive quantitative. This research was carried out at SMP Islam Diponegoro, Surakarta. It was conducted for a month on March 2012. The populations of this study were the Eighth Grade Students of SMP Islam Diponegoro in Academic Year of 2011/2012. The classes were used in this research were VIII A Putra which consisted of 15 students and VIII B Putri which consisted of ten students. There are several techniques to collect the data, such as survey and test. The technique to analyze the data used in this research is error analysis. The steps of analyzing data are started from collecting the data, identifying the error, describing the error, explaining the error, and drawing the conclusion. The result of the study showed that for the linguistic category, total errors of each kind of errors were 49 errors or 45,37% in article errors, 38 errors or 35,19% in Auxiliary verbs errors, 10 errors or 9,26% in noun errors, and 11 errors or 10,19% in preposition errors. For the four types of errors in linguistic category, article errors were the highest number of errors with 49 errors or 45,37%. On the other hand, for the surface strategy, total errors of each kind of errors were 83 errors or 76,85% in omission errors, 11 errors or 10,19% in addition errors, 14 errors or 12,96% in misformation errors, and 0 errors or 0% in misordering errors. For the four types of errors, omission errors were the highest number of errors with 83 errors or 76,85%. The causes of errors made by the students could be classified into two, namely: interlingual transfer and intralingual transfer. There are four causes of errors in intralingual transfer, namely: errors caused by over-generalization, errors caused by ignorance of rule restriction, errors caused by incomplete application of rules, and errors caused by false hypothesis concepts. This analysis is very useful for the teacher and the students. It helps the teacher to know the problem of students in writing descriptive texts, especially for the eighth grade students, specifically in using articles, auxiliary verbs, nouns and prepositions. So, the teacher is able to improve and develop the teaching of English grammar, especially in teaching writing descriptive texts.
