WORDY WEDNESDAY: 'AFFECT' VS. 'EFFECT' ( ZIG BLOG POST): meaning and examples
Hello, readers! For Wordy Wednesday we are looking at two words that we often confuse: AFFECT and EFFECT. Do you know the difference?
Affect is a verb.
Example 1: Pollution negatively affects our climate.
Example 2: This new diet will affect you positively.
Effect is a noun.
Example 3: The effects of global warming are all around us.
Example 4: The side effects of this medicine are headaches and low energy.
In a recent Ziggurat post in our blog called "The 4 Ways Sound Affects Us," we looked at the word AFFECT, and also looked at a TED video about our relationship with sound. You can read the article and watch the video at the following link.
