Today, we are going to explain the differences between "affect" and "effect".

Both "affect" and "effect" can be used as a verb and a noun. However,  "affect" is more commonly used as a verb whereas "effect" is more commonly used as a noun.

As a verb, "affect" means to cause something to change in some way.

For e.g. :

Peter's unhappiness affected everyone else's mood last night.

As a noun, "effect" means the outcome of a cause.

For e.g. :

The sound effects of this movie theater was fantastic.
