Spanish/English Cognates
A. We call Spanish a romance language because it comes from Latin, the
language of the Romans. Latin had a great influence on English too. Therefore,
there are many words in Spanish that look like and or sound similar to English
words. These are called cognates.
Write what you think that English word would be.
