A ffect is for A ctions, aka verbs.
So if you could replace it with another verb, like a form of “eat,” use “A ffect”
“The man a/effected his friend” becomes “The man ate his friend” –> gruesome, but it happens. So: “The man affected his friend.”
Vs: “The man had an a/effect on his friend” becomes “The man had an eat.. had an eaten… had an ate… his friend” –> nothing makes sense. So: “The man had an effect on his friend.”
