affect/effect did I get it right? [duplicate]

The effect of light from the sun had the affect of allowing john to see further.

True, not true? Effect is a verb, so light is an effect: affect alters something, so john seeing further was the affect of lights effects??????????

Solution 1:

Not true.

The effect of light from the sun had the effect of allowing John to see farther.

If you wanted to use "affect" as a verb ("to modify")...

The effect of light from the sun affected the distance to which John could see.

If you wanted to use "effect" as a verb ("to cause to exist")...

The light from the sun effected a greater viewing distance for John.

As a noun, "affect" is often limited to psychological applications.
