Thanks in advance - this really is a fantastic site. USAGE Affect and effect are frequently confused. Affect is primarily a verb meaning ‘make a difference to’, as in the changes will affect everyone . Effect is used both as a noun meaning ‘a result’ (e.g. the substance has a pain-killing effect ) and as a verb meaning ‘bring about (a result)’, as in she effected a cost-cutting exercise .http://www.englishforums.com/English/EffectVsAffect/zlvqr/post.htm#473084Tue, 05 Feb 2008 17:35:40 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:473084andyw12345Hi everybody, Please could somebody explain (in as simple terms as possible) what the difference between effect and affect is and when you would use each.

If the question is "Should I use effect or affect ?" the answer is given by the 99% rule 99% of the time. And yes, effect can be used as a verb (bring about, produce, create, cause), and affect can be used as a noun (feeling, emotion), but these usages are comparatively much less frequent. For all practical purposes these meanings can be dismissed from consideration in 99% of cases.

"to raise" something is to lift it up. "to raze" something is to tear it down (usually referring to a building) "Jesus answered and said to them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."

Very interesting! Anyway, I believe there is a very simple method to differentiate between effect and affect. When used as nouns, the difference is pretty obvious. An effect is a result of an action, while an affect is a feeling or emotion. When used as verbs: Effect is an active verb: 'The government effected swift decreases in the unemployment level.' Affect is a passive verb: 'The unemployment level was positively affected by new government policies.' If you have any trouble figuring out the difference between the active and passive tense, the trick is the word by.
