He writes, Question: I really want to know the difference between 'affect' and 'effect.' Answer: Dear Young-Ho, These are commonly confused words. Although they are spelled differently, they sound - and look - almost the same: affect and effect. But the one-letter difference makes a big difference. Effect Let us start with 'effect,' E-F-F-E-C-T. 'Effect' can act as a noun or, in rare cases, a verb. As a noun, 'effect' means 'a change that results when something happens.' For example, The movie had a strong effect on my feelings. The use of internet sales had a good effect on our business. Another form of the word is the adjective 'effective.' It means 'producing a result that is wanted.' Medical experts, for example, tell us: Handwashing is very effective in removing germs. Affect 'Affect,' A-F-F-E-C-T, is usually used as a verb. 'Affect' means 'to influence.' In other words, affect means to act on or change someone or something. For example: She has back problems that affect her balance, so she has trouble walking. Remember our earlier example about the movie having an effect on one's feelings? We could also say: The movie affected me greatly. In this case, 'affect' means to cause strong emotions. If you are still confused, just remember this: effect is usually a noun, and affect is usually a verb. And that's Ask a Teacher! I'm Jill Robbins. |
