Errors usually happen in the process of learning foreign language, and it is normal like any other human learning. Errors indicate that actually the process of learning is in progress. Here, the writer wants to know about the kinds of present indicative errors that are usually produced by students of Debutant Trois and what the most frequent present indicative errors produced by students Debutant Trois are. The writer limits the analysis of French conjugation in present indicative because it is the first tense in learning French. The theory of Ellis and Brown are used in this study to refer to errors as the language system that the learner is using. Those theories are used as the main theory to do the analysis. Other theories used are French grammar by Crocker and Language Two by Burt, Dulay and Krashen.
