Okay so I'm writing a paper for my English class and the thing I have always been confused on is whether to use affect or effect, I have multiple sentences with this problem because I have a 5 page paper here, I will disclose an example sentence and the first to tell me which to use and why will get 100 rep. 25x4
In what ways did Stephen Biko (affect or effect?) South Africa?
Stephen Biko had a huge (affect or effect?) ....
What (Effect or Affect?) did the education....
Thanks.

Always use affect when it is a verb.
Effect is a noun.
so,
1.affect (verb)
2.effect (noun)
3.effect (noun)
EDIT: I'm an AP English student. I know these things :p

It's used as a verb, the helping verb makes it did affect. Second sentence is effect. It's used as an adverb. Third sentence is effect I'm pretty sure, if you finish the sentence I'll be able to be sure.

The correct word is affect, it is the one that is used as an action

All of them are Effect.
Affect is giving something in the scenario, and effect is what is taken from the scenario.

That's pretty ironic because not all of them are effect. :facepalm:
