This research was correlation study. Research population was eight grade students of SMPN Dharma Nusa academic year 2020/2021, it consists of 56 students that divided into two classes (VIII1, and VIII2). In selecting sample, the researcher used systematic sampling technique. The researcher collected the data by using multiple choice and writing recount text test because in this research, the researcher study about Correlation of Students’ Understanding of Simple Past Tense and Their Ability to Write Narrative Text. After the researcher know that there is a Correlation of Students’ Understanding of Simple Past Tense and Their Ability to Write Narrative Text, the researcher analyzed how many level correlations between two variables with prove it. It can be seen from the computation of the average result of students‘ understanding of simple past tense and the average result of students‘ ability in writing descriptive text. The average result of students’ understanding of simple past tense is 70.9 and the average result of students ability in writing narrative text is 62.65. By using product momen correlation formula by Pearson, the result of the computation is rratio is 0.60 which is higher than rtable with N=40 and 5% significant level is 0.28. The result of rratio is also between 0.400–0.700 which means the relationship between these two variables is in the average relationship.
