The population was the fifth-semester students of the English Department at Teachers Training and Education faculty Universitas Riau, which consisted of three classes: class A, class B, and class C. From 114 students of the population, 30 students were taken as the sample of this research by using purposive sampling. The instrument used written test in which students had to use the word in the bracket into the correct type of Conditional Sentences. The data were analyzed by calculating the scores of students individually and looking for the mean scores. Based on the result, it was found that the errors made by the fifth semester students in using conditional sentences type 1, the students made 115 errors (22.8%). In type 2 students made 136 errors (27%). In type 3 students made 253 errors (50.2%). The students made 504 errors in conditional sentences type 1, 2 and 3. Conditional sentences type 3 become the highest error that students made. The second highest errors made by students were in using conditional sentences type 2, while the lowest errors made by students were in using conditional sentences type 1. Based on this result, it is suggested that the students pay more attention in learning and teaching process. The students should have more practice in grammar and remember the grammatical pattern and rules. It is better for lecturers to explain as clear as possible all of the types of conditional sentences generally and conditional sentences type 3 specifically, not only the meaning and formula but also their uses.
