Grammatical errors of agreement in foreign students

Summary/Abstract: Our article examines the difficulties encountered by foreign students in learning theRomanian language, particularly the most common grammatical accord errors.These mistakes can be mainly attributed to a lack of language proficiency, as well asto the peculiarities of the Romanian morphological system. The accord between thepredicate and subject, as well as between the adjective and the governing term, areamong the most frequent sources of grammatical errors for foreign students. Theaccord between the predicate and subject can be challenging to learn due to thehomonymy between the verb forms for the third person singular and plural inRomanian. Additionally, word order in the sentence can contribute to confusion anderrors. Regarding the accord of the adjective with the regent term, neglecting thisagreement can affect the correct understanding and interpretation of the messageconveyed. We highlight that interference with the native/international language, thecomplexity of the Romanian grammatical system, and lack of practice are among themain reasons for these errors. In the final part of the article, we discuss errors relatedto the use of the adverb, such as false agreement in the construction of the relativesuperlative and treating the adverb as an adjective, especially when used as adeterminant of a proper adjective or participial nature, in the plural number. Toavoid these agreement mistakes, it is necessary for students to know very well thedifferences between flexible and inflexible parts of speech and to pay specialattention to the context in which these parts are used in sentences.
