Advanced: effect and affect
I stumble here all too often and I've had to pull in the help of the OED to clarify things as best as possible:
To affect something is to change or influence it, To effect something is a rather formal way of saying 'to make it happen'. Confusingly, either may produce an 'effect' or result. ('An affect' is a technical term in psychology.)
The stability of the wall was affected by passing lorries.
The demolition of the wall was effected by the detonation of a charge of dynamite.
The dynamite did not just 'affect' (influence) the demolition of the wall: it caused it.
