Can someone please clearly explain the difference between affect and effect?

Effect is almost always a noun. It generally means "result." Affect is almost always a verb. It means "to influence" or "to have an effect on." Affect is never an adverb. If you need to know what an adverb is, let me know.

Effect is sometimes used as a verb. It means "to bring about." I want to travel to poor countries and effect change.

Affect is only used as a noun in the field of psychology. It's very, very rare. You could probably go your whole life without using affect as a noun, so don't even worry about it.

In the example you gave, effect would be correct. In this sense, it's a noun referring to the state of being or becoming operative.

Affect and effect have no senses in common; therefore the tendency to confuse the words must be guarded against closely.

As verbs, affect (the more common) is used principally in the senses of influence {how smoking affects health} and pretense or imitation {affecting nonchalance to hide fear}, whereas effect applies only to accomplishment or execution {reductions designed to effect economy; means adopted to effect an end}.

As nouns, the terms can be kept straight by remembering that affect is now confined to psychology.

effect is a noun means to bring about (layoffs designed to effect savings)

affect is a verb and is most commonly used to influence (how smoking affects the health)

This right out of the dictionary. Based on this I would say: The rule takes "effect" on Monday. As in effective immediately.

You have the noun/verb thing right, so it is 'the rule takes effect, as 'takes' is the verb.

effect is like somethin happened and the result is the effect

affect is like "leaving now won't affect me" this one is a verb
