Affect / Effect

Teaching Affect vs. Effect on an Interactive Pattern
Step 1: Understanding the Difference

1. Affect (Verb) – Means to influence or change something.

• Example: The weather affects my mood.

1. Effect (Noun) – Means the result or outcome of something.

• Example: The new policy had a positive effect on the company.

Step 2: Interactive Pattern-Based Teaching
✅ Activity 1: Visual Mnemonic

• Create a simple chart or flashcards:

• Affect → Action (A for Action, Affect)

• Effect → End result (E for End, Effect)

• Show real-life images (e.g., a crying child) and ask: “Is this an affect or an effect?”

✅ Activity 2: Fill in the Blanks

• Provide incomplete sentences and let students choose the correct word:

• The lockdown (affect/effect) businesses worldwide. (Answer: Affect)

• The medicine had a side (affect/effect). (Answer: Effect)

✅ Activity 3: Role Play

• One student acts as a scientist explaining how climate change affects the environment.

• Another student explains the effects of pollution.

✅ Activity 4: Quick Quiz (Think-Pair-Share)

• Students pair up and discuss one sentence each using “affect” and “effect.”

• They share examples with the class.

✅ Activity 5: Story Creation Game

• Students create a short story using both words in context.

• Example: The storm affected the village, and the effect was severe flooding.
• 
  

All / Whole

Teaching "All" vs. "Whole" – Basic to Basic on an Interactive Pattern

Step 1: Concept Explanation (Simple & Clear)

1. All = Used for plural and uncountable nouns

We use each when we think of things separately, one by one  Ex _ Study each sentence carefully. Each = x + x + x + x	We use every when we think of things as a group. the meaning is similar to all. Ex _ every sentence must have a verb.  Every = xxxxxx               xxxxxx               xxxxxx
Each  is more usual for a small number: Ex _ There were four books on the table. each book was in a different color. Ex _ At the beginning of the game, each player has three cards	Every is more usual for large number: Ex _ Nadeem sir loves reading.he has read every book in the library.

• We use all in the expression all about:

Ex _ They told us all about their holiday.

neither of / either of

Both of ... / neither of ... / either of ...

We use both of / neither of / either of + the/these/my/Tom's ... etc. So we say 'both of the

Neither of the restaurants we went to was (or were) expensive.
I haven't been to either of those restaurants.

All / some / many

all / some / any / most / much / many / Little / few no

You can use the words in the box with a noun (some food / few books etc.):
1)All cars have wheels.
2)Some cars can go faster than others.
3)Many people drive too fast.
4)I don’t go out very often. I'm at home most days.
