All right as firing literary people Here we go Another

00:07

section were on one of twelve And we're just going

00:09

to inspect the whole bunch of paragraphs sentences and whatever's

00:12

teo figure out right Grammar and all that kind of

00:15

stuff So here we go first One what Affect All

00:19

right that's where focused on goto paragraph one here When

00:22

i was seven years old my parents got divorced and

00:25

my mom decided to take me to panama to live

00:27

with her there Not shakespearean writing here at the time

00:31

I was too young to realize what affect this would

00:34

have on my life Now i know that it shaped

00:37

my childhood and made me the person i am today

00:40

Look terrible writing divorce clearly hurt their grammar Okay well

00:49

let's think about this It's the old problem of affect

00:52

versus effect Like an old timey villain you know rolls

00:57

into town and high noon with a gun This issue

00:59

we still recognize the difference Well the two words air

01:06

pronounced in almost exactly the same way Even though we've

01:09

made an affect and in effect there so you could

01:12

hear the difference But they're actually different parts of speech

01:16

Affect is a verb Wealth effect is a noun They're

01:20

swamped here so we can eliminate each of the answer

01:23

choices that mistakenly use affect like a indeed the second

01:27

answer choice uses effect but that creates the awkward phrasing

01:31

of at the time I was too young to realise

01:34

that e fact this would have on my life So

01:37

that's incorrect as well Right Answer is c that effect

01:41

like i was too young to realize the e fact

01:45

this would have on my life Yeah Yeah well let's

01:48

hope we affect your grammar better than we did for 00:01:51.311 --> [endTime] this guy
