I've always been good stuff like this, but affect and effect always confused me. This simple video clears a lot up.

If you are not a school teacher, then you need to be one. You've made this so simple to understand. Great video. Many thx.

This has been the best explanation of these two words. Any explanation I've seen online has confused me further. This has cleared it up! Thanks.

[winstonchurchill]

Just say impact. It is easier than remembering this.

[cjcap]

Great, thanks. This was simplest but effective. I found changing the verb to something else, for example, impact (my usual verb) helpful. Gezzz, you would think after all these years of education it would sink in. :) Great video!

I have struggled with this all through elementary to high school! Now I'll have it down for the last year of my education in high school! YES! 😂😂Thank you!😘😘

Thank you for the video. Now that I understand the difference I'm very comfortable in proposing that we forget the difference and make them the same word. I don't know a single other native English speaker who understands this difference. It's more obscure than whom

[kristynbirdsong]

Oh my goodness!!!  How awesome is Thank you!

[kdaugustine]

Hmmm. Did you tell the dictionary that? Both can be nouns and both can be verbs.

[y_p]

Very nice explanation, love the animations

[maryzilkoski]

Great video. Thank you, helped so much!

[rokfish]

Thanks for the video, this one always gets me for some reason lol. Random question, is the music you use copyright free or something? I feel like I hear it all the time on Youtube.

[Tina-xjrj]

That was a perfect explanation. Thank you.

[meganmoroney]

i think everyone that doesn't know the difference between your and you're or there, their, and they're need to watch videos like this

[JoRoCaRa]

That Raven part is one of the funniest things Ive seen in a while.

[pdnapora]

The substitution of another verb really helped me. Thanks

[hughhoob]

Is this new because I swear they taught us A for emotion E for action when I was in school

[dipikagogoi]

Thank u so much for this, , otherwise I always used to confuse on these..

2022 and this channel was before it's time.

[FreeSpiritMom]

I’m still confused. I’ll just listen to Winston Churchill and use the word, impact.
