How about affect and effect? Affect is always a verb -- "His marriage proposal didn't affect her stance on his infidelity." Effect is almost always a noun -- "Seeing that the ring had no effect, he quickly made his apologies and got out of there." You can also use effect as a verb -- "'I was only trying to effect a change in our relationship,' he thought sadly to himself as he slunk out of her house." Generally, though, the verb/noun rule will see you through.
