affect is a verb
effect is a noun.

The effect of studying is higher marks.
your marks affect how you feel.

No that's right.

[FONT=&quot]I shared that with you as the book allowed me to express my thoughts and feelings about an event that affected my religion so significantly.

Affect = influence
"Will the new rules affect me?"

Effect = result (outcome, consequence)
"This change has had an effect."
