Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Transference errors occur when students assume that aspects of their native language apply to the one they’re learning: they transfer the rules of one language onto another. These types of errors can be tricky to overcome because students are typically unaware that they’re making them.

Detailed explanation-2: -Language transfer is the application of linguistic features from one language to another by a bilingual or multilingual speaker.

Detailed explanation-3: -An error is a form in learner language that is inaccurate, meaning it is different from the forms used by competent speakers of the target language. For example, a learner of Spanish might say “Juana es *bueno, ” which is not what competent speakers of Spanish would say. The accurate form should be “buena."

Detailed explanation-4: -Basically, the three main groups of mistakes in early language acquisition comprise overgeneralization, overextension and underextension. Most words children usually learn first are used properly.
