COGNATES

True cognates: are words written the

exactly same way in English and a
different language, as Spanish, (exact
cognates) or in a very similar way in both
languages (semi-exact cognates); apart
from having the same meaning. Thus,
readers dont need to use a dictionary
because they already know the meaning
of the word. A reader can use a list of
some true cognates as follows:

False Cognates:are very similar

words as in English as in other
languages like Spanish but with a
different meaning; in other words:
they dont share the same
meaning in both languages. In this
case, readers should use a
dictionary to discover what a word
really means. This is a list of some
false cognates that readers can
check when reading a text.
