About Affect vs Effect
This website was designed as a comprehensive review to illustrate the main differences between the proper usage of the words effect and affect. Since the two words are homonyms (pronounced identically, but spelt and defined differently) many learners of the English language habitually confuse their appropriate usage. To add to the confusion, each word can be used as either a noun or a verb, depending on the context of the sentence. This website provides the key differences in differentiating between the two words through a comprehensive review, a chart highlighting common and uncommon usages of both words and finally, a quiz to review one's knowledge. We hope to help readers easily distinguish the proper usage of the word effect from the word affect.
