    The document lists cognate and false cognate words between English and Portuguese. Cognates are words that have the same meaning and similar spelling in both languages like "family", "visible", and "patience". False cognates appear similar but have different meanings, such as "actually", "contest", and "college" which do not directly translate from English to Portuguese. The document provides examples to illustrate the proper usage of cognates and distinguish them from false cognates between the two languages.
