To make it even more confusing for you, affect can also be a noun and effect can also be a verb.

  • Somebody can have a strange "affect" e.g. they come across as a strange person.

  • You can effect change, as in make change happen.

In the most common use though, effect is a noun and affect is a verb: if something affects you it has a big effect on you.
