Abstract
Our article examines the difficulties encountered by foreign students in learning the Romanian language, particularly the most common grammatical accord errors. These mistakes can be mainly attributed to a lack of language proficiency, as well as to the peculiarities of the Romanian morphological system. The accord between the predicate and subject, as well as between the adjective and the governing term, are among the most frequent sources of grammatical errors for foreign students. The accord between the predicate and subject can be challenging to learn due to the homonymy between the verb forms for the third person singular and plural in Romanian. Additionally, word order in the sentence can contribute to confusion and errors. Regarding the accord of the adjective with the regent term, neglecting this agreement can affect the correct understanding and interpretation of the message conveyed. We highlight that interference with the native/international language, the complexity of the Romanian grammatical system, and lack of practice are among the main reasons for these errors. In the final part of the article, we discuss errors related to the use of the adverb, such as false agreement in the construction of the relative superlative and treating the adverb as an adjective, especially when used as a determinant of a proper adjective or participial nature, in the plural number. To avoid these agreement mistakes, it is necessary for students to know very well the differences between flexible and inflexible parts of speech and to pay special attention to the context in which these parts are used in sentences
