Abstract
The objective of this research was to analyze students' writing skill on the use of simple past tense in recount text . The design of this research was qualitative research. The participants of this research were 20 students of the eleventh grade of SMA N 1 Tondano. The data were gathered from the students' writing texts and interview. The data were coded using grounded theory by Straus and Corbin (1990). The findings showed that students’ ability on writing recount text is considered low. There were five problems faced by students in writing in terms of grammar, diction, spelling, ideas development and text structure. All the problems are generaly caused by the lack of practice and motivation in writing activities. From the result, the researcher concluded that students’ ability in writing skill on the use of simple past tense in recount text needs to be improved.
