There are two children at the age of eight years old and they are only able to use two words in utterance. Acquisition and learning are different.  The acquisition means that the children certainly can acquire language as a present from birth unconsciously and it is called innateness meanwhile learning means that the children need guidance to learn language practically or theoretically to be able to acquire language. This research uses the qualitative descriptive method because the writer must gather the data by meeting the student or children as objects. There are three children as the main object and it is supported that the teacher is also the researcher to investigate and analyze the data. This research found five mistakes have been made by the eight children students and one mistake made by the ten-year-old child.
