Affect is usually a verb meaning influence or change or cause a reaction. Effect is usually a noun meaning result or impact.


There are opposite nouns and verbs but don't bother about them. They are rare and will only confuse you.
Use the word ';effect'; when you mean the noun ';result'; as in ';what was the effect?'; You would use ';affect'; meaning ';to influence'; or ';an emotional state'; as in ';did the movie affect hiim?'; and for the second one ';what was his affect--flat or emotional?';
