Abstract

The use of correct prepositions can have an effect on the quality of facts in spoken language. However, errors often happen in the use of prepositions, especially in, on, and at. This lookup used to be accomplished to pick out the preposition blunders made by students when speaking English. The facts had been obtained from the interview transcription, which was once used as the supply of data from the research done in 2005 with the aid of the writer herself about grammatical and diction errors made by the first -year college students of SMAN 2 Padang when speaking English. The finding showed that mistakes in the use of prepositions in and at took place more regularly than mistakes in the use of prepositions on. The errors are covered into two kinds of errors, particularly misformation mistakes (substitution of "in' for "at", "in" for "on", "in' for "from", at for "to" and "at for "in") and addition errors (addition of "in'" and "at"). The discovery also proved that the occurrence of blunders in the use of prepositions in spoken English is influenced by using the speakers' first or second language.
