Common misconception
If a word looks the same in French and English, it will always be a cognate.
There are lots of cognates, where English and French words are the same or similar. However, there are some words, known as 'false friends'. These are words whose meanings are not what they look like e.g. 'attendre' meaning 'to wait' not 'to attend'.
