However, EFL learners oftenface challenges in achieving this because of the difference in structures between their mothertongue (L1) and the second language (L2) to be learned. Therefore, such a phenomenon caninterfere either positively or negatively with the learning process. This study aims to analyzethe L1 interference (Spanish) in the morphosyntax of the L2 (English) in order to discover towhat extent communicative processes are affected. The methodology applied wasqualitative-descriptive. The participants were 36 students from the first level of EnglishMajor at the Technical University of Cotopaxi in the April-August 2022 academic period.The data collection instruments were a Pre-Intermediate (A2) descriptive text and a SpanishEnglish translation activity. From the data analysis, the researchers found seven types oferrors that cause ungrammatical sentences. These errors were (1) word order, (2) omission,(3) addition, (4) substitution, (5) subject-verb agreement, and (6) plurality, which are themain categories of this study. Additionally, errors were found in (7) mechanics which are outof the scope of this study. It was concluded that L1 interference significantly affects L2communicative processes since the errors found in this study inferred the conventions of thegrammatical dimension ER -
