When to use Affect vs Effect               I quick google search didn’t produce the answer so I thought I’d post it:             Affect is a verb e.g. What you eat affects how much you weigh.               Effect is a noun e.g. The effect of putting your hand through a window is your hand will be cut.   For the grammatically challenged, if you can replace the word with result and it still makes sense your using it as a noun so say effect. What you eat result how much you weigh.        - use affect             The result of putting your hand through a window is your hand will be cut.  - use effect   share and enjoy 11:52:30 AM
