There are some rules you need to memorize. 
People memorize this in different ways:
-reading and rereading
-writing and rewriting
-flash cards
(do whatever works for you!)

however, they only create right angles and bisect the vertex angles in Kites, Rhombus and Squares. 

however, diagaonals are only congruent in rectangles.
