Introduction

In this world, syntax is one of the most frequent thing that we can found in daily life.

Unconsciously, every people use syntax in their activity, such as in communication, reading,

writing, and listening. Syntax is a study of form sentences. Syntax is related to word class or

word categories.

Syntax is the linguistic branch which studies how sentences are formed. According to

Ramlah (2001:18) the term syntax (dutch syntaxis) syntax is a part or a branch of linguistics that

discusses the ins and outs of discourse, sentences, clauses, and pharses. As an english learner

understanding syntax is importance, because it can help us to understand the meaning of the

sentence and also help us to make a good sentences.

There are several part that learners have to master syntax, one of them is sentence

patterns. Sentence patterns is can be define as the way to build sentences, it is discuss how

sentence are formed gramatically. The learners can identify the example of sentence pattern

everywhere, like in a text book and in the song lyric.

In learning english there are several techniques, one of that is using song. Using song is

not a new way and it’s still a favorite strategy in the process of teaching and learning. According

to Brewster dkk (2002:162) there are many advantages of using songs as a learning resource.

First, the song is a linguistic resource. In this case, the song is a medium for introducing a new

language, as well as a medium for strengthening grammar and vocabulary. Second, the song is an

affective/psychological resource. Besides being fun, songs are also able to motivate students as

well as foster a positive attitude towards english. Third, song is a congnitive resource resource,

song helps improve memory, concentration and coordination.

 There are so many aspects of language that can be delivered and recycled through the use

of songs. They can be used at each stage of the lesson and there are many ways to include them

in the lesson. Ritsumeikan (2011) songs play an important role in the development of young

children learning a second language. Song has always played a big part in society because it has

been presenting with people during important events and in many different places.

Using english songs in EFL classrooms can successfully bring about effective learning

through providing a harmonious classroom but studying sentence patterns in song lyrics must

give more attention because there are often misinterpret words or lexical items when they are

combined into the sentences in the song lyrics are in the form of sentence pattern construction.

In indonesia, especially english learners are not familiar to english sentence patterns.

They just know about a class of english words or parts of speech, such as nouns, pronouns,

verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, and articles or determiners. Whenever the word put on

one sentences, the students cannot understand the meaning well.

Through the problem above, this research focus on sentences pattern of justin bieber’s

song “love yourself”. The researcher choose this song lyrics because they contain a few patterns

CONCLUSION
Tarigan (1984) suggests that syntax is a branch of grammar that deals with the structure
of sentences, clauses, and phrases.
• Sentence is a language unit that is relatively

stand alone, have a final intonation pattern and actually and potentially consist of clauses, for
example, I eat rice.
• Meanwhile, a clause is a linguistic form unit consisting of a subject and a predicate.

- Phrases are grammatical units that do not exceed

limit of a subject or predicate function So, it can be concluded that language errors in the
field of syntax include: phrase errors, clause errors, and sentence errors.
