What is the meaning of transfer errors?
Errors that occur due to learners lack of understanding of language structure

Errors that impact learners' previous grammatical knowledge

What is the difference between errors and mistakes?
Errors occur due to gaps in knowledge, while mistakes are occasional lapses in performance where the learner knows the correct form but fails to use it.
