Abstract

The paper intends to investigate into the Morpho-syntactic deviations of verbs in the writings of undergraduate students of Psychology 1st semester. Theoretical framework chosen for this study was taken from the model of Gass and Selinker(2008). I took a sample of twenty students (BS first semester) of Psychology Department and analyzed their writings to figure out errors of verbs made. At the end of my research I presented some remedial measures in order to avoid such errors in future
