Students are asked to underline cognates in a sample text. 3) Being aware of "false cognates" where words look similar but have different meanings. 4) Recognizing verbs and structures that indicate the simple present tense, like "DOES/DOESN'T" to help establish the tense of a text. The overall goal is to get a clear sense of a text's meaning and organization by

    COGNATES
    Cognates are words of the same or
    similar nature, related by descent from the
    same ancestral language (Merriam
    Websters Dictionary).
    That is to say, words that look and mean
    the same (or almost the same) in English
    and, in our case, in Spanish due to their
    Latin root.
    Examples,
    actor, animal, capital, chocolate, etc.
    Activity: Read the text Defining
    Psychology again and underline/make
    a list of cognates you find.
    FALSE COGNATES
    However, there exist several words
    despite being the same in both
    languages, their meaning is different.
    They are also called FALSE FRIENDS.
    Careful!!! Youll have to learn them
    by heart.
    Examples,
    Embarrased, contest, record, etc.
    SIMPLE PRESENT
    Hints to recognize simple present
    tense.

    - Use of DO- DOES / DOESNT DONT

    - Use of S or ES in the verbs.

    - Use of AM-IS-ARE / M NOT- ISNT


    ARENT
    Examples,
    ROUND-UP
    When you approach a text for the first time you
    must:

    - Take a look a the text organization.


    - Read the title and caption.
    - Quickly take a look at the cognates
    - Find clues to establish the tense the text is written.

    That way youll have a clear idea of what the text


    is about.
