Is it correct?
This formal similarity may cause overestimation of learners’ knowledge, and as a result they might do not check these words in a dictionary (as they might do with completely unfamiliar words). It should be emphasized that recognition and understanding of words in isolation is a more difficult task than deducing the meaning of words in a reading passage.
