“effect” and “affect”

What does it mean?

 

Switching “effect” and “affect” is one of the most common errors students make on SAT and ACT exams. “Affect” is almost always a verb meaning to act upon, to make a change to something. “Effect” is usually a noun, and typically means a change that happened already, one that resulted from something else acting on it.
