when would you use affect instead of effect?

I learned a goofy mnemonic device to remember this in elementary school... but it always works:\n\nverB - Affect  (A and B are together)\n\nAfter a while, it becomes second nature :-)

Emotion. Bad words are very emotional. Whats better "I want to make love to you like an animal." Or "I want to **** you like an animal." The bad word makes the statement more powerful and adds more emotion to the song drawing you into it more.

effect is a noun: "His words had a strong effect on me".\n\naffect is a verb: "His words affected me strongly".\n\naffected can be an adjective, but I presume you mean it in a passive sense: "I was strongly affected by his words".

No, they are not the same. The first one is grammatically incorrect & should not be used. The second is grammatically correct & is used in the context of the comparison e.g "Isn't there the same problem in the English government as in the American government, in regards to international trade?"

No.  It should read, "Please go to the concert with Tammy and me."\n\nIf you remove "Tammy and" from the sentence, it should  still make sense.  You wouldn't say, "Please go to the concert with I."\n\nYou could say, "Tammy and I would like you to go to the concert with us."  Again, if you remove "Tammy and" from the sentence, it still makes sense.\n\nThe rule: Use "me" when you're the object, and "I" when you're the subject.

Both are correct English. The first would be the most common circumstance. Which is more correct would depend on the context of the situation.

grammar not grammer. You put the comma anywhere your little heart desires. Grammar is power. Don't be a semi colon when you can be a full colon.

No, it is not necessary. \n(Nor was it necessary for the person to put "no" so many times)

1. to add emphasis to a word which might otherwise not have enough "weight" applied to it\n\n2. It depends purely on the word you wish to stress\n\n3. It hasn't completely, I sometimes do it myself.\n\nEG:\n\n"The girl with the Red hat" might make you notice that the fact that the hat is *red* is important\n\n"The girl with the red Hat" however moves focus to the fact that she was wearing a red *hat* and not perhaps a red scarf.\n\nIt is less popular now as folks tend to either use Bold or they Italicize the words the need to stand out more.

Affect and effect are two words that are commonly confused.\n\n"Affect" is usually a verb meaning "to influence".\n\n      The drug did not affect the disease.\n\n"Effect" is usually a noun meaning "result".\n\n      The drug has many adverse side effects.\n\n"Effect" can also be used as a verb meaning "to bring about".\n\n      The present government effected many positive changes.

affect means to influence or change, an effect is a result.  I affect someone when I convince them to change.  When I affect them then the effect of my words is that they change.\n\nWhen I mix yellow with red paint I affect the red paint by making it orange.  The effect is orange.

I would say flat. Flat affect= doesn't show emotions.

The confusion of these terms is one of my pet peeves! Affect is most commonly a verb, meaning "to influence", where effect is a result (noun). Affect can also mean emotion and is commonly used in the psych fields. (i.e. flat affect=no emotion registered on the face). \n\nRepeat after me, folks: "I can AFFECT the EFFECT!"\n\nA RARE use of effect as a verb means "to bring about or create", but again, that is quite rare.\n\nexample sentences: \nIf I drink too much tonight, it will really AFFECT my test taking ability tomorrow morning.\n\nHis wiley charms had no EFFECT on me.\n\nThe lack of rain fall has really AFFECTED the growth of our crops.\n\nThe lack of rain fall has had a lasting EFFECT on the growth.

Both of the expressions you list could be used with the same meaning, though one of them might fit better than the other in a particular sentence, depending on what you want to emphasize.   The expression "attacks of bees" is perhaps a little less likely, except in certain special constructions.  (You might use it, for instance, if "bees" is the first in a list -- "The attacks of bees, red ants, mosquitoes and every other biting insect you can imagine made it a memorable picnic!")\n\nBut if you are actually trying to use the words you list (instead of just giving them as a general example of how to put the words together), I suspect the expression you ACTUALLY want is "Bee attacks".   With this kind of compound expression of two nouns the first noun is usually in the singular, not plural.

An easy way of establishing it is to see what the sentence would sound like without one or two words in it.  So if you would say 'I went to the game', then 'Doug and I went to the game' would be the correct thing to say.\n\nIf you would say - 'The score at the game affected me deeply as my team lost', it would then be OK to say 'The score at the game affected Doug and me deeply, as our team lost!'\n\nSo if you leave the 'Doug and' bit out of the sentence, then the context will tell you which one you should use.  That also goes if you are using either Doug and I or Doug and me as the answer to a question.  'Who broke the window?' 'Doug and I [did]' - the word 'did' being implied.  However, it's very hard to find a context in which 'Doug and me' would be used.  'Who would like to go to the game?' is usually answered by shouts of 'Me! Me!' when really it should be 'I! I!' as 'I would' is implied, and you wouldn't say 'me would'!  So on a stand alone basis 99.9999999999999999% (recurring) of the time, 'Doug and I' is probably the right answer.
