    This thesis delves deeply into the challenges faced by native urdu speakers when acquiring English as a second language. Through error analysis and comparative linguistics, it explores the inherent complexities of this process. The study not only identifies common grammatical and syntactic errors but also investigates their underlying causes and proposes effective pedagogical strategies. It highlights significant differences between English and Urdu grammar, particularly in areas such as verb agreement, tense systems, and the use of articles and prepositions, posing challenges for learners. Unexpectedly, preposition errors emerge as a focal point, suggesting substantial interlingual influence. This underscores the need for nuanced instructional approaches addressing both interlingual and intralingual aspects, especially regarding preposition usage. Overall, the research provides valuable insights into language acquisition dynamics, advancing pedagogical strategies for Urdu speakers transitioning to English, and prompting further exploration into nuanced language learning phenomena. Suggestions for further research include exploring additional nuances in language transfer and refining pedagogical strategies tailored to address specific linguistic challenges.
