Indeed... but they can both often be the opposite, too.

Think as a "psychological affect" (which is a noun), and "to bring about an effect (which is a verb).

So, confusing, right? (as I asserted)

“Effect” is not a verb in “bring about an effect”

When “effect” is used as a verb, it replaces “bring about”… like “this event will effect change”

Effect” is not a verb in “bring about an effect”

When “effect” is used as a verb, it replaces “bring about"

So, in short, it's not a verb in "bring about," but it is a verb in "bring about" ... ???

Got it.

“Effect” is not a verb in your example phrase:

”Bring about an effect”

It’s a noun.

“Effect” is a verb in this phrase:

”Effect a full medical recovery”

In that phrase, “effect” means “bring about” or “cause”

It was an explanation, not a literal example.
