      Based on these findings, we can conclude that students make ungrammatical sentence because of the mother tongue interference, however, their biggest number of syntactical errors emanated from the inconsistencies in the rules of English language.
      Therefore in the data analysis and findings of this study, the following conclusions were drawn.
      i.    Relevant teaching aids for English language should be procure and made available for teachers.
      ii.    Teachers and students should be encouraged to put in their best in teaching and learning of English language
      iii.    Students should make friends with English speakers, learning to speak English and compare notes. Talk about things that you have learnt and exchange ideas.
      iv.    Students are advised to read aloud. Read newspaper or magazine our to themselves because it is a great way to practice pronunciation.
      v.    Teachers and students are encouraged to always use dictionary. Online dictionaries often have audio examples where they can check their pronunciation
