Affect
and Effect: Affect is
a verb: it acts upon something, someone, or an emotion, while effect is both a
noun and a verb, and hence comes the confusion. Let's see examples. Affect
(verb): Because I have allergy, the weather affects me badly. Effect (Noun):
The weather has a terrible effect on me. Effect (Verb): We will implement a new
internal communication strategy to effect change. In this sentence, "to
effect change" means "to cause change to happen."
Assure, Insure and Ensure: Assure, ensure, and insure all mean
"to make secure or certain." Only assure is used with reference to a

interchangeable, only insure is now widely used in American English in the
commercial sense of "to guarantee persons or property against risk."
