Effect is usually a noun, meaning something that happens because of a cause.

Affect is usually a verb, meaning to change in some way.

Effect can also be a verb, meaning to make (something) happen. (She effected change.)

Affect can occasionally be a noun, meaning a psychological state.

I would have said "paid" was the only correct one but I read the answer about the rope. I would say that usage is no more common than the use of "effect" as a verb.

Effect is a noun, Affect is a verb, so:

I can't explain it, he just has that effect on me...

Why do you let it affect you?

Paid is the past tense of "to pay", e.g. I don't think you paid for that chicken madam.

Payed is not used in this sense at all, but:

" There’s only one common sense in which either “payed” or “paid” can be used, according to the lexicographers at American Heritage and Merriam-Webster’s.

This is when the verb “pay” means to slacken something like a line or rope, allowing it to run out a little at a time. Example: “He payed out the rope to give it some slack.” "

Affect can mean 'to influence', or 'to give an appearance'.

Effect can confusingly mean both 'cause' and 'result'. (Isn't English great?)

Try this on for size:

In order to effect a change in the town's ordinance, he tried to affect the council's deliberations by addressing them with a knowledgeable affect. This had its desired effect.

Anne-Marie covered paid/payed adequately.

Effect: like special effects.

Affect: result or consequence, 'cause and affect'

I don't think payed is a word, I think its just paid...Look in a dictionary, those usually tell the definitions of words if I remember correctly...

Paid is right I don't think payed exists

affect: to cause change usually damage

effect: a result or outcome of something

I'm not sure about payed/paid but when i was in 6th grade, my teacher taught us that effect was generally used as a noun and affect as a verb

the recent technology of yankee young infants isn't being taught grammar as a path. the college equipment expects the youngsters to %. it up themselves in basic terms via examining textbooks and listening in college. are you able to tell it substitute right into a foul thought to take grammar training out of the college room?
