Affect:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Effect:
1. What was the effect of the advertising campaign?
2. The new drug may have an effect on life as we know it.
3. The new football manager has effected much improvement.
Ach jo, so how does one make sense of all this? With native English speakers
the answer is simple: just ignore it. When a native speaker uses one of these
words in conversation, the pronunciation is so similar that no one can tell the
difference, and no one will think did he say effect or affect? But what
happens when one must write one of these words? Then this same native
speaker must either guess the correct meaning, or choose another word.
Neither is a way to live ones life, and you, dear student, will not be in this
situation, because you will know how to use these horrible words.
Tips
First of all, if what you want is a noun, then almost certainly the word you want
is effect.
Affect as a noun is used almost only in the field of psychology. So the big tip
here is not to become a psychologist, and you wont have to worry about it.
Second, if you are looking for a verb that means to influence, then what you
need is affect. So if you can put influence in place of the word you want and it
still makes sense, it must be affect. Lets look at an example:
The rain influenced the football match.
