Error Analysis of Punjabi ESL Learners' Imperative's Direct and Indirect Narration
This paper aimed to identify and analyze errors in the direct and indirect narration of imperative sentences committed by Punjabi adult English language learners. For this purpose, 256 students of intermediate level were selected randomly from four tehsils of district Sialkot. The study based on Ellis' theoretical model followed the quantitative research method. The data was collected from both sexes, boys and girls, using convenient and simple random sampling techniques through written tests. The results reveal eight types of errors committed, primarily in Pronouns, Tenses, Imperative Verbs, and Infinitive To. The frequency analysis of the errors showed that the erroneous use of Pronouns was the most frequent, and the least number of errors were made in the use of the modal "Should". There were more errors of 'Omission' and 'Addition' than 'Mis-ordering'. It was also found that the highest number of errors were made in 'Alternating Forms'.
