In this article, we classify the most common morphosyntactic mistakes that Spanish-speaking university students of French as a foreign language at level A2-B1 make when writing. We will focus solely on the area of morphosyntax as it is always where the most mistakes are made. Furthermore, we will discuss in more detail the issue of the agreement, as it is the most common error within our corpus. We conclude that the mispronunciation of the learners as well as bad reading habits could be the origin of a certain number of morphological errors. Finally, we suggest some corrective practices aiming to reduce, or even eradicate, the detected errors: autocorrection, collective correction, and rereading.
