This study investigates the grammatical features of English speakers raised in broken homes. The primary objective is to determine whether there are common characteristics of errors in the English used by these speakers and to explore a potential link between a broken home environment and language deficiency. The study employed both quantitative and qualitative research methods, utilizing questionnaires distributed to 20 respondents who had experienced broken homes. These respondents were selected based on specific criteria to ensure the relevance of the data collected. The data was analyzed through descriptive statistics and qualitative assessments to identify prevalent grammatical challenges faced by the respondents. The results indicated that individuals from broken homes commonly exhibited grammatical errors, particularly in modal verb phrases, demonstrative pronoun agreement, subject and object pronouns, and subject-verb agreement. The analysis suggested that these errors may have been linked to the unique challenges faced by individuals from broken homes. The study concludes that there are potential connections between individuals from broken homes and language ability, emphasizing the need for targeted educational interventions to support these individuals in overcoming such issues.
