[David] Hello grammarians, today we're going to talk about two of my, well, I don't know if I'd call them favorite, but two of my most frequently confused words.발음듣기

It's more complicated than that, obviously but most of the time, when you're looking at these two words and you're trying to decide oh which one do I use~?발음듣기

That's the too long, didn't read of this video and who reads a video, but this is your key takeaway.발음듣기

They both mean that there was a change but effect with an E is the result of that change and affect with an A, or affect is the change agent if that makes sense.발음듣기

Well, we're signaling here by using the article a and the adjective nasty that we're looking for a noun.발음듣기

Similarly, if we wanted to write this sentence again but with affect, with a verb, we'd say: The drought affected Angela's crops.발음듣기

Now, of course there are always obnoxious exceptions let's cover them briefly, but just bear in mind that these are pretty rare.발음듣기

The way I usually see this is in the phrase effect change which really means to bring about change.발음듣기

And the other obnoxious exception is affect as a noun which is like a psychology term it really means someone's personality.발음듣기
대기중
I think your big takeaway is that affect is a verb and effect is a noun, and yes these exceptions exist but I think in the interest of clarity, you need to be very certain when you're using them.발음듣기
대기중
Because affect here as a noun is professional jargon frankly, this is psychologist talk and that means it's a very particular kind of English it's to be used in a specific context.발음듣기

But that's just a style tip, obviously it's still grammatical to use it that way you just have to be careful of confusion.발음듣기
