Educational worksheet focusing on cognates and false cognates between English and Spanish, featuring vocabulary matching activities.

Let's solve this worksheet step by step. The goal is to identify cognates (words that look and sound similar in two languages and have the same meaning) and false cognates (words that look similar but have different meanings).

---

Part 1: Match the English words with their correct Spanish translations using the numbers provided.

We are given a list of English words on the left and a numbered list of Spanish words on the right. We need to match each English word to its correct Spanish translation.

#### English Words:
1. Princess
2. Invited
3. Palace
4. Celebrated
5. Except
6. Prophecy
7. Secret
8. Identity
9. Family
10. Disappear
11. Pass

#### Spanish Words (with numbers):
1. Pasar
2. Excepto
3. Identidad
4. Invitar
5. Profecía
6. Desaparecer
7. Celebrar
8. Princesa
9. Palacio
10. Familia
11. Secreto

Now, let’s match them:

- Princess → Princesa → 8
- Invited → Invitar (but "invited" is past tense; "invitar" is infinitive. However, in vocabulary matching, we often match base forms.) But note: "invitado" would be the past participle. Since "invitar" is the only related word, and it's #4, but wait — "invited" might not be directly matched unless we consider context. But here, “invitar” means “to invite,” so “invited” is the past form of “invite.” So it matches Invitar → #4.
- Palace → Palacio → 9
- Celebrated → Celebrar → 7
- Except → Excepto → 2
- Prophecy → Profecía → 5
- Secret → Secreto → 11
- Identity → Identidad → 3
- Family → Familia → 10
- Disappear → Desaparecer → 6
- Pass → Pasar → 1

So, the correct matches are:

| English | Number |
|----------------|--------|
| Princess | 8 |
| Invited | 4 |
| Palace | 9 |
| Celebrated | 7 |
| Except | 2 |
| Prophecy | 5 |
| Secret | 11 |
| Identity | 3 |
| Family | 10 |
| Disappear | 6 |
| Pass | 1 |

✔ Answer for Part 1:
```
Princess → 8
Invited → 4
Palace → 9
Celebrated → 7
Except → 2
Prophecy → 5
Secret → 11
Identity → 3
Family → 10
Disappear → 6
Pass → 1
```

Part 2: Join the first row with the correct translation.

We have two columns:

Left Column (English):
- Rose
- Dance
- Idea
- Real
- Stranger
- Return
- Escaped
- Trance
- Obeyed
- Gently
- Really

Right Column (Spanish):
- Real
- Escapar
- Obedece
- Realmente
- Rosa
- Gentilmente
- Idea
- Trance
- Danzar
- Retornar
- Extraño

Now, let’s match each English word to its correct Spanish translation:

1. Rose → Rosa ✔
2. Dance → Danzar ✔
3. Idea → Idea ✔ (perfect cognate)
4. Real → Real ✔ (cognate)
5. Stranger → Extraño ✔ (note: "extraño" = strange or stranger)
6. Return → Retornar ✔
7. Escaped → Escapar ✘? Wait — "escapar" is "to escape", so "escaped" is past tense. But since "escapar" is the infinitive, and no "escapó" is listed, we assume it's acceptable as the verb form. So Escaped → Escapar (but better to think of it as "to escape") → still likely the intended match.
- Actually, "escaped" = "se escapó" → but only "Escapar" is available → so yes, it matches.
8. Trance → Trance ✔ (same word, cognate)
9. Obeyed → Obedece → but "obedece" is present tense ("he/she obeys"), while "obeyed" is past. But again, no other option — "obedecer" isn't listed. So likely, Obedece is the closest form. But wait — the Spanish word is Obedece, which is third person singular present. But we’re matching vocabulary, so we go by root meaning.
- However, the best match for Obeyed should be Obedece? No — actually, the correct form would be obedeció, but since it's not there, and Obedece is the only option, maybe it's acceptable?
- But wait — perhaps the word Obedece is meant to match Obeyed? Not exactly. Let's check if there’s a better fit.

Wait — look at the list again. Is there a better match?

Actually, let's re-check:

- Obeyed → Should be obedeció, but not listed. But Obedece is listed. However, it's present tense. Still, in vocabulary exercises, they may accept it as the verb form.

But notice: the Spanish word Obedece is listed — it's the third-person singular present of *obedecer*. But "obeyed" is past tense.

However, "obeyed" could be matched with Obedece if we're just matching the root word.

But let’s see if there's another possibility.

Wait — is there a word missing?

No. Let’s go through all:

- Rose → Rosa ✔
- Dance → Danzar ✔
- Idea → Idea ✔
- Real → Real ✔
- Stranger → Extraño ✔
- Return → Retornar ✔
- Escaped → Escapar ✔ (infinitive, but accepted)
- Trance → Trance ✔
- Obeyed → Obedece? Not perfect. But Obedece is the only verb form. Alternatively, is there a better match?

Wait — what about Gently → Gentilmente ✔

And Really → Realmente ✔

So now we can do:

- Obeyed → Obedece — but is that correct?

Wait — Obedece means "obeys" (present), but Obeyed is past. However, in many language worksheets, they pair verbs by root, even if tense differs.

But let’s check: is there any word that doesn’t have a clear match?

Wait — look at the list again:

Spanish options:
- Real
- Escapar
- Obedece
- Realmente
- Rosa
- Gentilmente
- Idea
- Trance
- Danzar
- Retornar
- Extraño

Now, match one by one:

1. Rose → Rosa ✔
2. Dance → Danzar ✔
3. Idea → Idea ✔
4. Real → Real ✔
5. Stranger → Extraño ✔
6. Return → Retornar ✔
7. Escaped → Escapar ✔ (to escape → escaped)
8. Trance → Trance ✔
9. Obeyed → Obedece ✔ (even though tense differs, it's the closest form)
10. Gently → Gentilmente ✔
11. Really → Realmente ✔

All seem to match correctly.

But wait — Obeyed → Obedece — is that accurate?

Actually, "obedecer" is the verb, and "obedece" is the present tense. But "obeyed" is past. However, in vocabulary matching, especially for beginners, they often accept the infinitive or base form.

But here, "Obedece" is not the infinitive — it's conjugated.

Is there a better match?

Wait — is "Obedece" really the best choice?

Yes — because "obey" = "obedecer", and "Obedece" is the third-person singular form. But "obeyed" is past, so it should be "obedeció".

But since "obedeció" is not listed, and "Obedece" is the only verb related to obey, we must use it.

Alternatively, perhaps the worksheet expects "Obedece" to be matched with "Obeyed", accepting tense differences.

Similarly, "Escaped" → "Escapar" — again, infinitive vs. past.

So we proceed with:

✔ Final Matches for Part 2:

- Rose → Rosa
- Dance → Danzar
- Idea → Idea
- Real → Real
- Stranger → Extraño
- Return → Retornar
- Escaped → Escapar
- Trance → Trance
- Obeyed → Obedece
- Gently → Gentilmente
- Really → Realmente

Note: Some are true cognates (like *idea*, *real*, *trance*, *rose*), some are false cognates? Let’s check.

Wait — "Trance" is a true cognate — same meaning in both languages.

"Real" — same meaning.

"Idea" — same.

"Rose" — same.

"Extraño" — in Spanish, "extraño" means "strange" or "foreigner". In English, "stranger" = someone unfamiliar. So "extraño" can mean "stranger" — yes, it's a valid translation.

"Gentilmente" = gently — correct.

"Realmente" = really — correct.

"Danzar" = to dance — correct.

"Retornar" = to return — correct.

"Escapar" = to escape — so "escaped" is the past form — acceptable.

"Obedece" = he/she obeys — so "obeyed" is past, but still acceptable as the verb form.

So all matches are reasonable.

🔍 Notes on Cognates and False Cognates:

- Cognates: Words that are similar in spelling and meaning across languages. Examples: *idea*, *real*, *trance*, *dance*, *return*, *secret*, *identity*, etc.
- False Cognates: Words that look similar but have different meanings. For example, "embarazada" in Spanish means "pregnant", not "embarrassed" — but that’s not in this list.

In this exercise, all matches are actual cognates or near-cognates, and none are false cognates.
