Students need a good knowledge of English vocabulary and grammar rules to produce good essays in English.  When students write essays in English, most of them are translate the words and sentences from their mother tongue to English which results in wrong sentence structures.  Due to the lack of grammatical knowledge, students are prone to make errors.  They find it difficult to write essays free of errors of various types.  They often make spelling errors, errors in tenses like subject-verb agreement and prepositions.  The paper focus the common errors in LSRW.
