The percentage of plural -s/es was 58,46 %, third person present singular -s/es was 20 %, past tense –ed was 6,15 %, past participle -en/ed was 6,15 %, progressive –ing was 3,08 %, possessive –‘s was 3,08 %, superlative –est was 1,68 % and comparative –er was 1,40 %. Referring to the percentages of the research, the researcher concluded that the error of inflectional affixes which the most frequently appeared was plural –s/es with the percentage 58,46 %, and the error of inflectional affixes which the least frequently appeared was comparative –er with the percentage 1,40 %. Mastering inflectional affixes is important in order to make precise sentences. Therefore, students should perform well in applying inflectional affixes.
