Some words in English actually come from French. Some meanings are basically the same, but some meanings are slightly changed, such as travail, which is also found in English.

Comparison: I like a small pen.
Reflexive personal pronouns in French are not found in English either. In this respect, French has rich expressions, such as looking in the mirror, saying Sergard dansle mirroir, while English has no such way.
There are many differences and similarities between English and French in pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar and discourse. I can't explain it clearly at the moment, but I have the opportunity to elaborate in detail.
