I’m not sure that it is the right place to ask new questions. Is it about the difference in meaning, combinability or something else? It’s sheer presumption for the government to suggest things have improved since they came to power. They raised taxes on the assumption that it would help control spending.Ģ. New technologies continue to affect how we live.
Could you please explain it? These are two sentences I have in my IELTS book:ġ. Affect is a verb meaning ‘influence or cause someone or something to change’: The cold weather has really affected her health. I have checked the English monolingual dictionaries and honestly failed to find the difference. The IELTS Vocabulary books often place them in the FCW section. The effect of the tornado was devastating. So, if an event affects your life, you will feel the event’s effect. My question is about two other FCW(frequently confused words): presumption and assumption. Effect is a noun, and it means the result of a change. Students do often make mistakes using ‘effect’ and ‘affect’ interchangeably as they often do not realise that these words belong to two different parts of speech. Thank you for the lesson on this pair of frequently confused words.
