However, an effect is the result of an action (by something else).

An affect is something that acts or acted upon something else. The verbal noun uses of affect are distinguished from the verbal noun uses of effect more clearly than the regular verb forms. The former indicates that major changes were made as a result of new policies, while the latter indicates that before new policies, major changes were in place, and that the new policies had some influence over these existing changes.

'.new policies have affected major changes in government.'.

'.new policies have effected major changes in government.'.

Affect conveys influence over something that already exists, but effect indicates the manifestation of new or original ideas or entities: ( transitive, Scotland, law ) To burden (property) with a fixed charge or payment, or other condition or restriction.Īffect and effect are sometimes confused.
