Abstract	Students of English strive to be not only fluent, but also pragmatically and linguistically (grammatically) competent in their usage of the target language. On the path of achieving a certain level of proficiency, they often make errors, which are viewed as an inevitable and positive part of the Second Language Acquisition (SLA). This longitudinal research was carried out among the first-year students of English Language and Literature at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Osijek. They were supposed to solve the same grammar exercise with mixed tenses at the beginning of the academic year (when they enrolled the University in October 2015) and after having participated in obligatory grammar courses English Language Practice (ELP) I and II and Morphosyntax and Semantics of the English Verb Phrase (in April 2016). The aim of this research is to identify typical grammatical errors, analyse them according to the principles of Error Analysis, find their source and an explanation and track the students progress over time. After having analysed students answers, it is evident that they made far more errors at the beginning of their studies, but there are still some fossilized errors that need to be corrected.
Abstract (croatian)	Studenti engleskog kao stranog jezika nastoje biti ne samo tečni, već i pragmatički i jezično (gramatički) kompetentni u njihovom korištenju ciljnog jezika. Na putu postizanja određene razine stručnosti, oni često čine pogreške, na koje se gleda kao neizbježne i pozitivne korake usvajanja drugog ili stranog jezika. Ovo longitudinalno istraživanje je provedeno među studentima prve godine Engleskog jezika i književnosti na Filozofskom fakultetu u Osijeku. Riješili su isti gramatički zadatak sa glagolskim vremenima na početku akademske godine (kada su upisali fakultet u listopadu 2015.) te nakon što su odslušali obvezne gramatičke kolegije Jezične vježbe engleskog jezika I i II te Morfosintaksu i semantiku glagolskih izraza u engleskom jeziku (u travnju 2016.). Cilj ovog istraživanja je utvrditi tipične gramatičke pogreške, analizirati ih prema postulatima Analize pogrešaka, pronaći njihov izvor i objašnjenje te pratiti napredak studenata tijekom vremena. Nakon što je provedena analiza, postaje očigledno da su studenti napravili daleko više pogrešaka na početku studija, ali još uvijek postoje neke ukorijenjene pogreške koje treba ispraviti.
