A Common Mistake in English



                                             






We often make silly mistakes in use of two similar English words. The frequency of mistakes increases when the word are homophones(word that sound similar). Now starting this blog with two common words which are a used frequently by us in essays,composition or other places where these word are used. And the words are "affect" and "effect". We always put one in place of other and vice-versa. Many of us do not know difference and meaning of the two words and also their grammatical use.


Let us learn how to use them.


Starting with their meaning

Affect means "produce an effect on" and in Hindi it means "प्रभावित"
Effect means "result or consequence of an action" and in Hindi it means "प्रभाव"


Affect is verb and Effect is noun.


Take an example:-


Alcohol consumption affect liver.
The finance minister's meeting with RBI governor created no effect on stock market.
