Shad  +  46432 Mon, 20 Sep 04 04:34 PM Are affect and effect used correctly in the following sentence: The body parts affected and the permanent effect if any of those injuries is in dispute. I appreciate your help. Shad Shad Joined on Fri, Sep 10 2004 South Carolina New Member 02 Shad Affect and Effect

	CalifJim  +  46449 Mon, 20 Sep 04 05:25 PM Yes, "affect" and "effect" are used correctly. What you quoted is not a complete sentence, though! Did you intend to write "effect of ... are" instead of "effect if ... is"? Or something else, maybe?

	elcid  +  46451 Mon, 20 Sep 04 05:31 PM There is a subtle difference between affect and effect. like you have these sentences: 1) I will get affected by his doings. 2) his doing will have effect on me. the difference is affect is a verb and effect is a noun (when they mean influence). I mean affect can be used as a noun but then it means something different . similar case with effect. elcid Joined on Thu, Sep 16 2004 Junior Member 87 Verbs, Difference Between, Nouns, Affect and Effect
