    In our actual world, the learning of English has gained a great importance since it is considered a significant tool to interact and communicate with people from different countries and cultures. Moreover, this language opens possibilities to continue growing in various areas like medical support, social aid, business, education, etc. Due to the opportunities that this language provides, people consider necessary to learn it. As a consequence, the process of learning English has become an important object of study because not all people learn in the same way. Therefore in order to make it easier, it has been necessary for some investigators to carry out some research to identify and determine different phenomena, and the stages and mechanisms involved in this process. Different studies, in the field of TEFL, have determined that the process of learning our mother tongue differs from learning a second language. Based on this point of view, as researchers, we took into consideration to study the influence of the language rules of L1 on the language construction in L2, which is considered as a normal step when learning a second language because the learner tries to communicate using the structures and construction of L1 and L2, noteworthy that the student mixes both languages in an unconscious manner. This topic caught our attention because we have experienced this phenomenon during the process of learning a second language, thus, we considered that people should be aware about this stage to avoid desertion due to the feeling that the level they have acquired is not good enough. For this reason three main aspects were considered to accomplish this study: A) which are the most common structures from L1 that language students use in the construction of L2?, B) the solutions that can be analyzed to minimize the phenomenon and C) the impact that our experiment had on students’ performance. All this perspectives helped to have a meaningful understanding about this subject.
