What types of words in English have frequently been borrowed from the French?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

"These words are called cognates, and there are far too many to be written here. a few examples, however, are: advertisement, a la carte, a la mode, boulevarde, bulletin, canard, cheque, chic, critique, déjà vu, risqué, vis-a-vis, and on, and on, and on........ All of the ballet erms, and many cooking terms are french, as well."
