This study is aimed to examine the interferences of students' L1 on their English language in senior high school in Mataram and how strong those interferences influence students in constructing English structure. The method is qualitative. The data consist of words and phrases. The first-grade students of four senior high schools in Mataram serve as the participants of the research. The study observed and analyzed the data based on the steps as follows - 1) data transcript 2) pre-coding and coding, 3) developing ideas, 4) interpreting and making conclusion. As a result, it shows that the interferences of students' L1 can be seen in two points - 1) in the word order of English sentences, and 2) how students interpret the sentences. As an influence of L1, students often make mistakes in making sentences and thus the composition of their L1 sentence rivets it.
