Distinguishing between these commonly confused word pairs and prepositions can be tricky, but there are some simple "logic checks" you can use to get them right every time. ​1. Affect vs. Effect ​The easiest way to remember this is the acronym RAVEN: Remember Affect Verb, Effect Noun. ​Affect (Verb): To influence or produce a change. ​Example: The loud music affects my ability to sleep. ​Effect (Noun): The result or the outcome of a change. ​Example: The effect of the medicine was immediate. ​2. Do vs. Make ​This is often about the nature of the activity. ​Do: Used for tasks, obligations, or repetitive activities. It focuses on the process. ​Examples: Do your homework, do the dishes, do exercise. ​Make: Used for creating, constructing, or producing something that wasn't there before. It focuses on the result. ​Examples: Make a cake, make a decision, make a phone call. ​3. Has been vs. Have been ​This is a simple matter of subject-verb agreement. Both are used for the "Present Perfect" tense (actions that started in the past and continue now). ​Has been: Used with singular subjects (He, She, It, or a single name). ​Example: She has been working here for three years. ​Have been: Used with plural subjects (They, We, You) and also with I. ​Example: I have been tired lately. They have been traveling. ​4. In, On, At (Time & Place) ​Think of these as a pyramid or a funnel, moving from general to specific. ​For Time ​In (General): Centuries, years, months, seasons. (In 2024, in summer) ​On (Specific): Days and dates. (On Monday, on July 4th) ​At (Very Specific): Precise times. (At 3:00 PM, at noon) ​For Place ​In (Enclosed/Large): Countries, cities, neighborhoods, or inside a box. (In London, in the room) ​On (Surface): Streets, floors, or physical surfaces. (On Oxford Street, on the table) ​At (Point): Specific addresses or exact locations. (At the bus stop, at 123 Main St) ​Would you like me to create a short practice quiz for you to test these out?
