I still can't figure out how to use effect and affect, so I just replace it with impact.

It's so simple, OP. This is how I remember it.

You should already know effect as what results from a cause, and so by deduction, you know that affect is the verb 'to change something' or the noun 'emotional state.'

The greenhouse E-ffect affects the Earth.
That's how I remember it.

Also, in the humanities, we have Affect Theory but not effect theory.
