Have you ever wondered how many of the verbs you have on your lists that are easy to remember without much effort. You will be surprised at how many verbs are cognates. Let's do a game that shows all the verbs you can put on a separate list and not have to worry about their meaning.

Please click on "newest" to make sure you stay in alphabetical order.

Pictures would be nice if you can find something related to the verb. cheese

I will start with: admitir=to admit

Verbs with multiple meanings could add some controversy. Must only a verb's "Primary" meaning be used? - pesta, May 20, 2011
not primary meaning but same sound to both Spanish and English = same meaning. - foxluv, May 21, 2011

not have to worry about their meaning

Then you'll have to change the name of the game A-Z False verbs cognates, and this game already exists on the list.wink

Maybe you should put a rule that says : The verb and its cognate must have the same meaning and then change your example and let's start over again grin
