INTRODUCTION
Indonesian language skills include four components, namely listening skills, speaking skills, reading skills, and writing skills (Sadhono and Slamet, 2014: .
The four skills are interrelated with each other.
Listening and reading are receptive language skills, while speaking and writing are productive language skills.
As a productive language skill, writing skills will produce writing in the form of essays, texts, poems, rhymes, and so on.
The Indonesian learning paradigm in the 2013 curriculum is oriented towards textbased learning.
In text-based learning, students are required to be able to express themselves through writing activities (Saragih, 2016: .
Through writing activities, students can convey their ideas, feelings, and experiences to others by using written language as a tool or medium.
One of the writing lessons learned in elementary school Indonesian is to write description texts in addition to other types of texts such as narrative, argumentation, exposition and persuasion.
Description text is a writing that describes or describes the object clearly and in detail.
In learning activities, students are required to be able to write well.
In addition to bright ideas in writing activities, students must obey the rules or rules of the applicable However, in reality students are too focused on the ideas or ideas they have, so they forget the rules of correct writing.
One of the things that need to be considered in writing activities is language rules.
The linguistic aspects that must be mastered by students in writing include vocabulary, sentence structure, spelling, punctuation, and word selection or diction.
In written language, accuracy is needed in the use of spelling and punctuation so that it can produce good and correct writing.
Diction or word selection is an important aspect in writing so that the writing produced by students can be well composed and understood by readers.
According to Mustakim .
4: .
, in language activities, word selection is a very important aspect because improper word selection can cause ineffectiveness of the language used, besides that it can also interfere with the clarity of the information conveyed.
Likewise in the use of spelling, misuse of spelling can cause errors in reader responses to the ideas expressed by the author (Gantamitreka, 2016: .
In addition, misuse of spelling can cause different meanings because written language is not like spoken language which can see directly the emotions of what is to be conveyed.
In learning to write in elementary schools, especially grade V, there are still many students who write not in accordance with the rules of using the correct language.
At the time of writing, there are still many students who use their mother tongue or regional language to replace unknown words in Indonesian and use vocabulary that is not right so that it is not understood by others.
For example, in a sentence written by students in research conducted by Endah Aprilia "I went to nde siti house.
", the word "nde" is a word derived from regional languages that should not be used in student essays.
The word "nde" should be replaced with the word "aunt" so that others can understand the meaning of what the student wrote.
In the use of spelling, mistakes that students often make concern errors in the use of letters such as the use of capital letters.
Students still have difficulty in using capital letters due to lack of understanding of the prevailing spelling, so at the time of writing students do not have rules.
Improper use of capital letters can lead to different interpretations of the content of the writing.
For example, when writing a person's name.

Laura Rinjani but not using capital letters, the person's name will have a different interpretation because it does not begin with a capital letter.
While in the use of punctuation, students are still less careful in the use of periods, commas, hyphens and others.
So that readers cannot understand the information that students want to convey.
For example, when students write a paragraph that contains several sentences.
The sentences in the paragraphs written by students do not end with periods or other punctuation marks so that the writing will confuse the reader and the reader will read by continuing the sentence because there is no pause in it.
Apart from these two things, student errors in the use of spelling also involve writing words such as writing prepositions that are not in accordance with the rules that have been perfected, writing rewords, writing affixes and writing absorption elements.
Students should be able to use the rules contained in the Indonesian when writing.
However, there are still many students who cannot apply language rules.
If this is not familiarized from an early age, students will not be able to use appropriate and correct language rules.
Therefore, it is necessary to analyze errors in the results of student writing.
Analysis of linguistic rules cannot be separated from language learning because language errors are shown for the process towards perfection or achievement of the goals of language learning.
Analysis of language rules in language is used to improve and help the language teaching and learning process.
