Top 10 Commonly Confused Words


#2: Affect/Effect


Question:


Does the weather affect or effect your mood?


Answer: affect


How to Remember It:


The simplest distinction is that affect is almost always a verb, and effect is usually a noun.
It may help to remember that the verb – the "action word" – starts with "a": affect is an action.
These words are frequently confused, partly because their meanings are related.
