SENSIBLE (FALSE-FRIEND)

Good morning.

We will finish our week of adjectives of personality traits by recycling a False Friend Daily Vitamin from some time ago.

Today's word is: sensible

It means: reasonable and practical.

Example 1:
We are looking for someone sensible for the job; someone who can think for themselves and work without continuous direct guidance.

Example 2:
You are usually a very sensible person, but today you are being very difficult to work with; you are asking us to do things that you yourself would never do.

REMEMBER!
Sensible is a false friend. In Spanish/Catalan it means 'sensato/assenyat' and NOT 'sensible'.

To get some writing practice, and to help you to remember the meaning of this false friend, I encourage you to write your own sentence (or two) with today's personality trait. You can post your sentences to one of our social media sites (Facebook or Bluesky) and we will give you feedback about your writing ASAP.

I hope you have a relaxing weekend. We'll be back on Monday with more lessons. 

All the best!
