Throughout this world pandemic, we have been listening to the news far more often than usual. The word ´fake´ has been turning up not only on Spanish TV screens but also in all the social nets, from Twitter to Facebook without excluding messenger or Whatsapp.
Perhaps we should have a look at the functions this English word has in the English Language and which ways it has adopted as a loan word in the Spanish Language.
The exercises included at the end of this post are suitable for post beginners, intermediate and post intermediate learners of English, that is to say, CEFR A2,B1 &B2.
In a few days' time, I will upload the key.
I hope you find this post useful and, above all, that you all keep safe and in good health.
My best wishes,
