Feb 25, 2008 · Senior Member. New York. US English. Feb 25, 2008. #2. Actually, these are two different verbs: -- The first one is influencer: to act upon. -- The second one is influer (sur): to influence, have an influence on. Similar meanings, but the verbs are different, and they work differently in terms of prepositions.

Influence is like to compel somebody to some action "His harsh words really influenced me to shape up" -- take some sort of action.
