These are not all french words.
I agree, not all these words are french and it doesn’t really show words in french that we use in english. Like “fatigue” or “crepe”
These are indeed not French words. They are English words used in French. You can see French words used in English in another list in this worksheet https://frenchetc.org/2011/02/19/francaisenanglais/ 🙂
I hope that clarifies things.

I need to translate a English Quote into French for a piece of art work, can you tell me how or where to do that? Live in Rural community so no French spoken here !
Yes, of course. Tell me what quote and I’ll do my best to help you with it. Thanks Kathy.
I heard “le warning” a few years ago, to indicate hazard warning lights on a car!
Oui, c’est bien vrai. Merci Trevor
