Language barriers and learning difficulties impact ESL students anywhere in the world. These challenges and errors take many forms and have many different causes, affecting many linguistic and cognitive domains. Our study focuses on the sorts of grammatical errors made by English Language and Literature Department students at the State University of Tetova’s dispersed studies in Kumanova. The study concentrated on parts of the pupils’ grammatical understanding that appeared to be difficult. The study examined the results of five grammar examinations given as part of continuing assessments by 100 graduate students enrolled in a two-semester English Morphology course from 2011 to 2017. The findings revealed that students frequently commit grammatical errors.
