Temporal conjunction means temporal connectives are words or phrases that are used to tell a reader WHEN something is happening. Thomas S. (2006:3) "Temporal conjunction means temporal connectives are words or phrases which are used to tell a reader WHEN something is happening". Temporal conjunctions tell people about the time. When will something happen? Which of the two happened first? Below is a list of commonly used temporal connectives. This text uses action verbs and simple present tense, which often looks as imperative sentences. It also uses the temporal conjunctions such as first, second, then, next, finally, etc. The use of temporal conjunctions or transition signals as people usually call is very significantly important.

Poor understanding in writing procedural texts is a bad sign in the learning process in the Junior High School in Cirebon. Responding to this problem it is necessary to make an analysis of their writing errors that will be a solution to this situation. The error in learning the target language is when the student is not able to correct the first error. According to Ellis in Erdogan (2005:3) "Error is if the student always uses the form incorrectly". Based on this opinion, it indicates that if a student repeats the question and then answers incorrectly, it is called an error. The author tries to analyze how the use of Simple Present Tense Verb and Temporal Conjunction on Student's Writing Procedures Text.

Method

 Researcher used qualitative methods in conducting this research. Creswell (2014:3) stated that: "Qualitative research is an approach for exploring and understanding the meaning individuals or groups ascribe to a social or human problem". The process of research involves emerging question and procedures, data typically collected in the participant setting, data analysis inductively building from particular to general themes, and the researcher making interpretation of the meaning of the data. The steps involved in conducting a qualitative research are as follows: identification of the phenomenon to be studied, identification of the participants in the study, generation of hypothesis, data collection, data analysis and drawing conclusions. There were 60 students as participant in this research.

The researcher uses writing test to collect or gather the data she needs. The researcher collects the data needed focused on the use of simple present tense verb and conjunction on students writing procedure text. "Writing is a thinking process, because writing is a process of putting ideas down on paper to transform thought into words and give them structure and coherent organization" Brown (in Fitria, 2000: 3). Writing is one of four skills that must be mastered by the learners/students.  It is an active skill because the students have to involve personally in constructing a good writing product. To make a good writing, it must be constructed according to rules or conventions of the target language. The students have to be well aware of some components of writing, such as vocabulary, spelling, pronunciation and grammar. Writing skills include a product and it is different from other skills. Therefore, it can be said that writing is the combination of all skills in English.

Sometime students make error in writing procedure. Therefore, Sompong (2008:6) stated that: "Error is unique to humans, and error analysis is the process of determining the incidence, nature, causes and consequences of unsuccessful language". From this definition Sompong stated that an error is a type of linguistic analysis that focuses of the learner make. It consists of comparison between the error made in the target language TL and TL itself. The fact that learners do make errors, and that these errors can be observed, analyzed, and classified to reveal something of the system operating within the learner, led to a surge of study of learners' errors, called error analysis. The teacher can determine what should be more emphasized or treated and what should be   not to their students.

Based on the theories and the opinion above, it can be concluded that the researcher uses descriptive qualitative method. The method used since the data of research is errors analysis of writing simple present tense and conjunction phrase found in procedural text made by students. The writer analyzes the data and describes simple present tense and conjunction phrase in its structures and functions.

The errors are classified. In classifying the errors, the researcher used surface strategy
taxonomy related to simple present tense verbs and adjectives. The data presented include
examples of the errors taken from data as a sample of each category of errors. The researcher used descriptive analysis technique called percentage (%), with a percentage from
the frequency of information and divided with the number of cases. It was described in the table percentage, and the formula is as below:

p=FN x 100%

Where:

P is Percentage of error
