- Abstract
This study is conducted as an attempt to explore some grammatical errors made by Yemeni students in the use of English articles in Faculty of Education, Zingibar. To collect the data of the study, a test was performed and administered to the students to fill the appropriate article in the space provided (blanks). The participants were 100 students of English of second year. The subjects of the study were selected randomly from students in the English department, college of Education Zingibar, University of Aden. The analysis of article errors prove that second year students face serious problems in the use of articles especially in the use of the zero article which is found to be substituted for 'the' in several contexts, and most of these errors are due to the effect of their mother tongue (interference) on English. They use the Arabic definite article "al" into the English definite article "the" even if it is expressed by a zero article in English.
