This thesis examines 8th grade students' competence in using correct grammar structures in writing recount texts. It finds that students can ask teachers for explanations when making errors. Students should not only rely on their English teachers but also improve their own efforts to master grammar structures. After reading this thesis, readers can gain an understanding of recount text structures. The students lack reading practice in the classroom because they are not accustomed to understanding English words, so teaching reading should be trained as much as possible so students can understand English sentences.
