The Norman French added about 10,000 French words to the English language.Seventyfive percent of them are still in use today.
Language experts estimate that English speakers who have never studied French already know 15,000 French words!Between onethird and twothirds of all English words have French origins.Some words such as possible and avenue are the same in French and English;only the pronunciations change.Other words such as ballet or a la carte(照菜单点菜) retain their French pronunciations in both languages.
In French grammar,nouns have either a male or female gender,so adjectives(形容词) take different forms for each.English has only one adjective that does this,and it came from French.The word blond describes someone with lightcolored hair.Blond is used for men,and blonde describes women.And they are also nouns.
Some French words that entered the English language have taken on completely different meanings.The French phrase a la mode means “in style”.In English,the phrase means “with ice cream”.Someone must have decided something eaten with ice cream was in style!
Now,as you learn English,you’re on your way to learning French!
