Yes, corn syrup is a sweet liquid - it's the same as glucose syrup. Whereas cornflour is a white powder (used for thickening sauces), and is not sweet in the same way that corn syrup is.

Corn syrup and corn flour are not interchangable, (in the same way that you would not substitute honey for wheatflour).
