EFFECT - AFFECT
Theory:
The similarity between the two words EFFECT and AFFECT can sometimes cause confusion.
EFFECT, spelt with E, is a noun.
For example:
Cold weather has a bad EFFECT on my health.
AFFECT, spelt with an A, is a verb.
For example:
Cold weather can AFFECT your health.
These words are very often used in FCE sentence transformations, and should be well understood.
The word EFFECT has other meanings.
EFFECT can be used as a verb to mean CAUSE TO HAPPEN.
For example:
