  1. When Should You Use Affect? • Affect with an a means "to influence," as in, "The arrows affected Aardvark," or "The rain affected Amy's hairdo." Affect can also mean, roughly, "to act in a way that you don't feel," as in, "She affected an air of superiority." • When Should You Use Effect? • Effect with an e has a lot of subtle meanings as a noun, but to me the meaning "a result" seems to be at the core of all the definitions. For example, you can say, "The effect was eye-popping," or "The sound effects were amazing," or "The rain had no effect on Amy's hairdo."

  2. Principal • the head or director of aschool • the highest in rank • Remember the principal is your pal!

  3. prin·ci·ple ˈprinsəpəl/ noun • 1. a fundamental truth or proposition that serves as the foundation for a system of belief or behavior or for a chain of reasoning. "the basic principles of Christianity" • 2. a fundamental source or basis of something. "the first principle of all things was water"

  4. To • To • Use to as a preposition before a noun or as an infinitive before a verb. To and Too can be tricky! • Examples • "Please take me to the dance" • "We don't need to buy that right now."

  5. TWO • Two • Use two to spell out the number 2. If you can replace two with 2 in the same sentence, and it still makes sense, then you are using it correctly. This should be the easiest one! • Examples • "I have two hands and two feet." • "Can you give me two dollars?"

  6. Too • Too • Use too as a synonym for also or to indicate excessiveness before a verb. Usually, if you can replace too with alsoin the same sentence, and it still makes sense, then you are using it correctly. • Examples • "I am going to the mall, too." • "I had too many tacos for lunch."
