Error:
… using Indonesian film …
… in personal way …

… in a personal way …
The other cases are the omission of the definite article in the context where definiteness is required as seen in the following:
Error:
… related to language used …
… most of differences …
Suggested correction:
… related to the language used…
… most of the differences …
While cases of addition occurs when the definite article the is used in the context where it should not appear:
Error:
… in the paper
… the Ardi’s opinion …
Suggested correction:
… in paper …
… Ardi’s opinion …
Misformation occurs in the use of others and another. In one case another is used before a plural noun as it is seen in the construction “ … another birds …”, which can be improved by using other instead of another: “ … other birds …”. In another case others is used before a noun phrase, which has to be preceded by other, as it is found in “…any others Hotel programs”. The correction would be “ …any other Hotel programs …”
There is another type of errors in determiners, that is; substitution, which relates to the use of every, less and few as seen in the following:
Error:
Every children whether
they can speak or not…
… less people …
… only few characters …
Suggested correction:
All children whether they can speak
or not …
… fewer people …
… only a few characters …
