French verbs tend to take the form of a stem with an ending of –er, –ir, or –re. From the data that we have looked at, it would seem to be the case that with verbs borrowed from English that the English naked infinitive (that is to say, the infinitive without the to i.e. to flirt becomes flirt) is appended with –er affix, the most common for verbs in the language (i.e flirter). The newly created stem is then used to form the conjugated forms of the verb (i.e. je flirte, tu flirtes etc.). This is evident in our corpus with such verbs as filmer, surfer, and flirter among others.
