Most of the English words that derived originally from a French word did so because the language was becoming more known by all people. Typically, the more formal language of French was spoken by the upperclass. However, more of the middle and underclass were being exposed to the same words and such. Numbers 1-5 are examples of the words that began to be used by all classes. Numbers 6-10 are examples of the English words with their corresponding French word. I did not notice a pattern in spelling changes, at least nothing extremely obvious.
