A CROSS-LINGUISTIC ANALYSIS OF PAST TENSES IN ENGLISH AND VIETNAMESE: PERCEPTIONS AND COMMON MISTAKES AMONG FRESHMEN AT VINH UNIVERSITY
View through CrossRef
This study presents a cross-linguistic analysis of the use of past
tenses in English and Vietnamese by freshmen at Vinh
University. The findings reveal that students struggle to use
English past tenses correctly, mainly due to structural differences
between the two languages and the influence of their mother
tongue. Data collected from surveys, grammar exercises, and
student writings indicate common errors in using complex tenses
such as the past perfect continuous. The study recommends
enhancing grammar instruction, adopting interactive learning
strategies, and increasing exposure to real-life contexts to
improve students' use of past tenses.
Keywords: Cross-linguistic analysis; past tenses; grammar
errors; language transfer.
