The second most common was simple past tense which occured 6 times, then passive voice of present future and present future tense which occured 5 times for each, afterwards present perfect tense and passive voice of present tense which occured 2 times for each, and the lasts were past perfect, passive voice of past tense and present continuous which occured once for each tense. In addition, to the case of reason for the mistakes that students made, it was found that the biggest reason was about the absence of routine practice. Therefore, to this case, students must put their own primary initiative to learn more about tense whereas it is also hoped that lecturers could guide the students intensely.
