A 4th-grade ELL student consistently produces sentences such as 'She go to school yesterday' and 'He don't know the answer.' Her native language is Mandarin Chinese, which does not inflect verbs for tense or subject-verb agreement. Her teacher suspects that this pattern is the result of a specific second-language acquisition phenomenon. Which phenomenon BEST explains this student's persistent errors?
