The result of this research, in general revealed that 25 out of 26 (96,15%) students made errors in the form of omission, addition, misformation, and misodering. There were 8 (30.77%) students who made errors of omission, 12 (46.15%) students made errors of addition, 23 (88.46%) students made errors of misformation, and 3 (11.53%) students made errors of misordering. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that the Phase E students at SMAN 2 Sutera, Kabupaten Pesisir Selatan still made errors in writing simple sentences in the simple past tense. The teachers should give more explanation and exercises about writing simple sentences especially about the use of verb form because they still did not understand and were confused about them.
