There is a significant correlation between grammar ability and students’ descriptive writing ability and the value of coefficient correlation was 0.89 or very high correlation. There is a significant correlation between motivation and students’ descriptive writing ability and the coefficient correlation was 0.77 or high correlation. There is a significant correlation between grammar ability and motivation toward students’ descriptive writing ability. It showed that f counted was higher that f table (38.09 > 3.49).
