affect vs effect?
The question
affect vs effect?
The simplest way to remember the difference is that affect is usually a verb, and effect is usually a noun.
Affect (Verb): To influence or change something.
- Example: "The cold weather will affect the crops."
- Think: Affect starts with A for Action.
Effect (Noun): The result of a change.
- Example: "The new law had a positive effect on the community."
- Think: Effect starts with E for End result.
A quick exception: In professional or clinical settings, "affect" can be a noun (meaning an outward display of emotion), and "effect" can be a verb (meaning to bring something about, as in "to effect change"). However, 95% of the time, the verb/noun rule above will be exactly what you need.
