Affect is a verb form of the common word "effect." Therefore, you would use the word "affect" when something is changing, or having an action performed upon it, i.e. "Johnny was greatly affected by the severing of his leg." Meanwhile, you would use the word "effect" as a noun form of the word, i.e. "The effect of Johnny's leg being severed was that he fell over a lot more frequently."
