There is a subtle difference between affect and effect.
like you have these sentences:
1) I will get affected by his doings.
2) his doing will have effect on me.
the difference is affect is a verb and effect is a noun (when they mean influence). I mean affect can be used as a noun but then it means something different . similar case with effect.
