ABSTRACT Pakistan English (PE), an institutionalized variant of English, developed as a result of contact between BrE and Pakistani languages. Given the diverse linguistic backgrounds of PE speakers, it is best viewed as a cline that extends from uneducated English dialects to an anglicized form at the other end. The PE is the sum of all these dialectical variations, which are vividly portrayed in Pakistani Anglophone literature. Therefore, a selection of literary works used as the primary source of data for the analysis of the usage of prepositions, tenses, and auxiliaries in PE compared to BrE. A qualitative analysis of the selected works revealed that because of interference from their mother tongues, artificial English learning environments, and a lack of exposure to BrE, PE speakers use prepositions, tenses, and auxiliaries differently than BrE speakers. These deviations are consistent, and qualify to be included in the PE’s features poll.
