Richards (2006: 3) states that the writers’ grammatical competence refers to their knowledge about a language. They are the ability to produce sentences correctly with well-structured and understandable sentences. However, it is difficult for second language learners to avoid as well as tackle grammatical issues in their writing. Those grammatical errors may be obstacles for communication proficiency or writing’s success. There are few studies in Vietnam conducting grammatical errors, and some Vietnamese
of second language acquisition. According to James, as cited in Sawalmeh (2013), EA is concerned with the analysis of the errors committed by L2 learners by comparing the learners’ acquired norms with the target language norms and explaining the identified errors. Meanwhile, Ellis (2008) is concerned with the use of EA as a tool for investigating how learners acquire an L2.

English phrasal verbs consist of a verb paired with a particle that is homophonous with an English preposition (Jackendoff, 2010, p. 228). The verb and its particle are written as separate words in the orthography, and the phrasal verb shares similarities, such as transitivity and irregularity, with the single-word verb which the ‘verb’ part of the phrasal verb resembles and from which it presumably originates. The particle used in the phrasal verb is not a preposition, although it resembles one
