AFFECT VS EFFECT
Affect: Affect with an ‘a’ means “to influence,” as in, “The venom affected the villian” Or to “act” as in “She affected an air of superiority”.
Effect: Effect with an ‘e’ means “a result” as in “The effect of the nail was notorious” or “The lighting effects were spectacular”.
Rule:
Barring a few exceptions, Affect is used as a verb and effect as a noun. It’s easy to remember with the picture.
“The Venom affected the Villain”, Remember the ‘V’s in the sentence and you’ll remember that “affected” is a verb.
And “The effect of nail was notorious”, Remember the ‘N’s and you’ll know that “effect” is a noun.
And once you remember that Affect with an ‘a’ is generally used as a Verb and Effect with an ‘e’ is generally used as a Noun, you’ll get it in 95% of the sentences.
AMORAL VS IMMORAL
AMORAL – ‘not concerned with morality’,
Studying is an AMORAL activity. We study because it is our duty and right to gain knowledge. It is not associated with our morals.
IMMORAL – ‘not conforming to accepted standards of morality’.
Cheating in exams is an IMMORAL activity as it flouts the rule of examinations.
Memory key: Immoral has an ‘I’- I can do something which is not moral- I am not moral.
6. ALLUSION VS ILLUSION
ALLUSION-an indirect reference
The boyfriend made an allusion to not getting married early.
ILLUSION-a false perception of reality, a dream
They saw a mirage: that is a type of ILLUSION- one sees in the desert.
Illusion of an oasis is not the Allusion that water is nearby.
Memory key:-
a.) Allusion (synonym: innuendo) means ‘ishara’.-Jeene ke ALLUSIONS mil gaye.
b.) Guzzarish’s Song:- Yeh jo tera zikhr hai,can be sung as:- Yeh jo tera ALLUSION hai
Illusion: Billo rani says: Raah mein tune mujhe roka hai, isme koi na koi ILLUSION hai.
7. ALL READY VS ALREADY
ALL READY-prepared
Lunch was all ready when the guests arrived.
ALREADY-by this time
The lunch was already smelling bad when the guests arrived.
Memory key:-
ALL READY is separated. Jisme extra ‘L’ hai usko alag kar do and take the meaning of“all” and “ready” individually. You will get the phrase.
Example:
By the time we were ALL READY to leave for the movie, it had ALREADY started.
8. ALTOGETHER VS ALL TOGETHER
ALTOGETHER – entirely
Altogether, I thought that the student’s presentation was well planned.
ALL TOGETHER– gathered, with everything in one place
We were all together at the family reunion last spring.
Memory key:
The same goes with “all together” as with “all ready”. The one with an extra ‘L’ is to be separated into two words. In altogether, the words ‘all’ and ‘together’ are joined entirely and it also means ‘entirely’.
Example:
When friends are ALL TOGETHER, it is fun ALTOGETHER.
9. AMIABLE VS AMICABLE
AMIABLE – showing good-natured personal qualities, affable, friendly
AMICABLE- peaceful, agreeable, harmonious
Memory key:
AMIABLE can be written as am + I + able to be friends with you.
AMICABLE has a ‘CABLE’ which connects to establish peace and harmony. We use amiable for people and amicable for events or situations.
Example:
Due to the AMIABLE nature of the new neighbors in the locality, we could come to an AMICABLE settlement of the dispute that had taken place.
