False cognate - Actual steemCreated with Sketch.

in #busy7 years ago

Hey everyone! Welcome to another Clive's English Corner post! 

Today's post is a common false cognate, but it is one that is specially confusing for those English learners who are Spanish speakers. There are many words that in Spanish that might have similar spelling or even sound in English, but they do not necessarily have the same meaning. Let's talk about one in particular 

Actual

Recuerda no usar la palabra "actual" para referirte a algo del presente. Debes usar la palabra "current".

Just like the picture says, don't use the word "actual" when you mean to refer to something relevant to the present time. The one you want to use is "current". 

There you have it guys! This one is a great one for you Spanish speakers out there!
