Key learning points
- Sound-symbol correspondence [ci] is pronounced differently in Spanish and English and benefits from frequent practice.
- 'tiene' is part of the verb 'tener' and means 'she, he, or it has' or just 'has'. E.g., Sofía tiene una bici.
- Cognates are words that are exactly or nearly the same in two or more languages.
Common misconception
Cognates are always exactly the same in both languages.
Cognates might be written and/or pronounced differently. It is usually easier to recognise a cognate in the written form.
