Effect Vs Affect

Now here is something that confuses me sometimes

and I am a native speaker...

"When should you use AFFECT

and when should you use EFFECT???

"Well affect with an 'a' is a verb and effect with an 'e' is a noun

(most of the time).

When Should You Use Affect?

Affect with an 'a' means "to influence,"

as in, "The arrows affected the aardvark,"

or "The rain affected Amy's hairdo.

"When Should You Use Effect?

Effect with an 'e' has a lot of subtle meanings as a noun,

but most of the time the meaning "a result" seems to be best.

For example, you can say, "The effect was eye-popping,"

or "The sound effects were amazing,"

or "The rain had no effect on Amy's hairdo."

Still confused?

Yeah me too a little bit...

Good luck :P
