What are the differences among influence, affect and effect?
Affect is a verb.
Ex: Inflation affects the buying power of the dollar.
Effect is a noun.
Ex: The drug had an immediate effect on the pain.
Influence has the same meaning as the word affect.
The first difference is that it can be used as a noun or a verb.
The second difference is that it's usually used when there is a sense of control being exerted, especially when there is a specific result.
Ex: The preference of your boss can influence your decision making.
