Rules for using affect and effect?
828496
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.

I think examples will illustrate this best.\n\nCOMPOUND SUBJECT. Bill and Gary went to the movies.\n                                          Mary and Beth graduated in June.\n\nBill and Gary is a compound subject as is Mary and Beth. \n\nCOMPOUND OBJECTS: The child threw the pail and shovel.\n                                           Grace kicked the chair and desk.\n\nPail and shovel are direct objects of the verb threw. Chair and desk are the direct objects of the verb kicked.\n\nMost compounds are joined by and, or, for, nor or but. However, they may also be joined by either/or, neither/nor, both/and, not only/but also.\n\nI hope this helps you.

Affect is verb, while Effect is a noun. \n\nThe easiest way I can think of to remember this is by using "the" in front of each word to see which is correct. Because it is a noun, you would say thE Effect (note the E at the end of 'the' and beginning of 'effect'.) \n\nExamples:\nThe effect of alcohol on the liver is poor.\nAlcohol affects the liver in a bad way.\n\nSome people say that caffeine doesn't affect them.\nAn effect of caffeine is that it causes the heart rate to increase.

rules?\nnone of those old, overused ones...

Affects is more of verb, like "i affected the outcome" or something. Effect is the noun, like "cause and effect." Therefore, when you say "I come with sound effects," effects would be the correct word to use.

It depends on the audience, and what the speech is about.\nPhysical gestures give away feelings, so if you feel passionate or angry or sad then use it.\n\nHope that helps.\n\nGood Luck.

Here you go:\n\n1. Indicative Mood (used for making statements about objective facts -- i.e. the facts that either happened in the past, or are happening in the present or will for sure happen in the future regardless of the speaker’s will .)\n\n    Examples: \n    All mammals feed their babies on milk.\n    Ann has been fasting for three hours.\n    I will get to you somehow. \n \n2. Interrogative Mood (used for asking questions)\n \n    Examples: \n    Do you like to watch TV?\n    How long has he been driving?\n\nThis mood is often consolidated with Indicative Mood;\n\n3. Imperative Mood (used for giving instructions, orders or making requests)\n \n    Examples:\n    Will you open the door for me, please? (this is a request, not a question)\n    Stand up and fight!\n    Do you mind opening the window? (this is a request, not a question)\n \n    4. Subjunctive Mood (used for expressing subjective facts – for expressing wishes, making suggestions, assumptions or for extrapolation. Subjective facts may not happen in the objective reality. Rather, they may take place only in the speaker’s mind and are the product of speaker’s thinking)\n\n    Examples:\n    I wish you were here\n    If I had known, I would have told you. \n    He could’ve stood a good chance to win these elections, had he not fallen sick.\n    If you could fly, you would probably not be here today. \n    You might’ve told me earlier.\n    Unless you feel sick, you should come. \n    You don’t have to come unless you want to.\n    Let’s say the Earth doesn’t go round the Sun. What our world would be like then? \n    In case something bad happens, call me.\n    Perhaps, Marry will come this time.\n    Imagine there are no countries.\n    I want the shutters to be removed.\n   \n  This mood is often divided into realistic (like in “I wish they could help me tomorrow morning” or “I wish they could help me now”) and unrealistic (like in “I wish they could’ve helped me last night’’ or “I wish my mom would still be alive”).\n \n  It is also subjugated to the category of time: “I wished they could have helped me” (past), “I wish they could help me now” (present), “I wish they could help me tomorrow” (future).\n \n  The subjunctive mood is the most tricky one and often “hides” behind complex sentences with conditional clauses (mainly those with “if” and “unless”).

Hmmmm .... I'm not sure if you mean "affective teaching" or "effective teaching".  The second term is much more common in education literature, and they are different concepts.\n\nThe first link I've included discusses teaching and learning in the affective domain.  The other links are related to effective teaching.\n\nI hope this helps.

There isn't a real rule, it's much the same as asking when do you end a word with a 'y' or an 'ie' in English.  It all depends on the word.

The old rule used to be to never use it. And many people followed the rule, whether or not it made sense.\n\nBut with the advent of e-mail and computers more people are writing, the old rule is no longer as dictatorial, and variations are permitted.\n\nRealistically, the more formal your writing needs to be, the less you should use "but" or "and" to start a sentence. There's usually a clearer way to get your point across. I work in technical writing and shy away from it on the job as a matter of course.\n\nBut in more creative writing and/or informal writing (such as journaling or letter writing or posting things on Yahoo Answers!), I think it's perfectly acceptable to start a sentence with "but" or "and."  \n\nUsually it is used for give "flavor" to the text, to give it some life and personality. And it forces people to pause or breathe where you'd like them to, when they read your text "mentally" in their mind. You're not just relaying information, you're trying to make your reader feel certain things, and such constructions are one tool to do that. \n\nBut I suppose it's really up to you.

The "variables" are the things in the experiment you are testing.  If you wanted to see if the rate of polar bear births increased when the sale of ice cream increased in Georgia (btw, it does), then the variables would be polar bear births and ice cream sales in Georgia.\n\nYou should note that just because the values of your variables change, does not mean that a cause and effect relationship exists.  As in the example above, just because more polar bears are born in years where ice cream sales in Georgia are high, does not mean that Georgia can make polar bears have more babies just by buying more ice cream.

the second on is correct, rule #3\n\n\nRule 1.  Use the apostrophe with contractions. The apostrophe is always placed at the spot where the letter(s) has been removed.  \n  Examples  don't, isn't \nYou're right. \nShe's a great teacher.  \nRule 2.  Use the apostrophe to show possession. Place the apostrophe before the s to show singular possession.  \n  Examples  one boy's hat\none woman's hat\none actress's hat\none child's hat\nMs. Chang's house\nMr. Jones's golf clubs\nTexas's weather\nMs. Straus' s daughter\nJose Sanchez's artwork\nDr. Hastings's appointment (name is Hastings)\nMrs. Lees's books (name is Lees)  \nRule 3.  To show plural possession, make the noun plural first. Then immediately use the apostrophe.  \n  Examples  two boys' hats\ntwo women's hats\ntwo actresses' hats\ntwo children's hats\nthe Changs' house\nthe Joneses' golf clubs\nthe Strauses' daughter\nthe Sanchezes' artwork\nthe Hastingses' appointment\nthe Leeses' books  \nRule 4.  With a singular compound noun, show possession with 's at the end of the word.  \n  Example  my mother-in-law's hat  \nRule 5.  If the compound noun is plural, form the plural first and then use the apostrophe.  \n  Example  my two brothers-in-law's hats  \nRule 6.  Use the apostrophe and s after the second name only if two people possess the same item.  \n  Examples  Cesar and Maribel's home is constructed of redwood. \nCesar's and Maribel's job contracts will be renewed next year. \nThere is separate ownership.\n\n\nCesar and Maribel's job contracts will be renewed next year. \nThere is joint ownership of more than one contract. \n \nRule 7.  Never use an apostrophe with possessive pronouns: his, hers, its, theirs, ours, yours, whose. They already show possession so they do not require an apostrophe. The only time an apostrophe is used for it's is when it is a contraction for it is.  \n  Examples  This book is hers, not yours. \nIt hurt its paw. \nIt's a nice day. \nIt's your right to refuse the invitation.  \nRule 8.  The plurals for capital letters and numbers used as nouns are not formed with apostrophes.  \n  Examples  She consulted with three M.D.s.\nBUT\nShe went to three M.D.s' offices.\nThe apostrophe is needed here to show plural possessive.\n\nShe learned her ABCs.\nthe 1990s not the 1990's\nthe '90s or the mid-'70s not the '90's or the mid-'70's\nShe learned her times tables for 6s and 7s.  \nRule 9.  Use possessive case in front of a gerund (ing word).  \n  Examples  Alex's skating was a joy to behold. \nThis does not stop Joan's inspecting of our facilities next Thursday.  \nRule 10.  If the gerund has a pronoun in front of it, use the possessive form of that pronoun.  \n  Examples  I appreciate your inviting me to dinner. \nI appreciated his working with me to resolve the conflict.
