Abstract
Abstract. This study aims to analyze grammatical errors made by tenth-grade students of SMK Ma'arif
NU 1 Bener in writing descriptive texts, particularly with the assistance of artificial intelligence (AI)
tools. Employing a descriptive qualitative method, the study identifies and categorizes grammatical
errors based on the taxonomy: omission, addition, misformation, misordering, and capitalization. The
data were collected from students' written texts and analyzed using qualitative data analysis procedures,
including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The study reveals the nature and
patterns of grammatical errors in students' writing, providing insight into their common linguistic
challenges. The integration of AI assistance, such as ChatGPT and other tools, is also examined to
support students' writing performance. The findings of this research are expected to contribute to more
effective instructional strategies to improve students' grammar mastery in descriptive writing.
