What is the difference between using I and me?
“I” is a first person singular pronoun that is used as the subject of a sentence or clause. (Example: I write the songs.) “Me” is used as an object. (Ex: The songs are written by me.)
Is it affected or effected?
Affected can be used as a past tense verb that means influenced or changed. It can also be used as an adjective to refer to a noun that has been affected (the affected body part). Effected is a past tense verb that means brought about or achieved. It’s a very subtle difference from affected.
