Bonjour! Comment allez-vous?

=== === Well you can (like cat = French chat, etc), but it is not a good habit in the long run. It is very difficult to have a conversation in French if you have to keep translating English words and English 'equivalent' words in French, and then 'untranslating' French words into English equivalents and then back into the real English words and expressions all the time! You will be forever translating back and forth, which is very time consuming and tiring. Very likely you will also be missing some vital points as you struggle for French/English equivalents! The key thing is to learn what a thing is! A fenêtre is a fenêtre!

So if you use French frequently, although this may not be easy initially, you will find in due course that your brain will instantly give you the correct word for the mental concept! This will all be quite automatic, with no effort or conscious intervention required! Listen to French. Speak in French. With practice you will be thinking in French! Fantastique! Magnifique! Trés bon! Comprende vous?

Bon! Au revoir! Adieu!

When did the English borrow the French language?

Assuming by "borrow" adopt is meant, never.

This led to the eventual emergence of Modern English, which has many French words and uses some French grammar, but it has to be remembered that English has borrowed words from many languages, and French words in English use have come into the language at different times and from different dialects. Answer The English borrowed French for a short time, but gave it back.
