In this video Linda breaks down the difference between “affected” and “effected”.
This is another set of words that is easily confused in English.
Let’s take a closer look:
“Affected” means "impacted, created an effect on, changed in a certain way."
For example:
The BP oil spill adversely affected marine wildlife in the Gulf of Mexico and surrounding areas.
“Effected”, on the other hand, means "executed, brought about, produced something."
For example:
After the BP oil spill, the government effected sweeping environmental regulation.
I hope the difference is clear now.
That’s it for today. See you next time!
