Affect and effect are easy to mix up. I want to explain the difference between the two words before we get to the memory trick though.
What Is the Difference Between ‘Affect’ and ‘Effect’?
Affect is usually a verb, and it means to impact or change.
Effect is usually a noun, an effect is the result of a change. However, there are certain situations and fixed phrases that break the rules of general use for those words.
Most of the time you use affect as a verb and effect as a noun. Affect can either mean “to influence” or “to act in a way that you don’t feel.” Effect typically means “a result.”
