We hope to be effecting many changes in the next few weeks.

The heat was affecting so many people, they turned on the air conditioning.

(When 'effect, effected, effecting' is used a verb, it is usually relating to changes that are, or have been, or will be, made.)

Answer 2

Effected and effecting are adjectives, not verbs. Effect *can* be a verb though.

You can use effect as a verb, typically "she effected a change, which affected those around her".
