Another word that can be used both as a noun and a verb in English is “impact.” As a noun, impact can be translated as “influência” or “impacto” depending on the context. Here are some examples:
He has had a great impact on our town even though he was only with us a short time.
The impact from the truck sent the pedestrian flying through the air.
The use of “impact” as a verb is considered incorrect by many writers, because they contend that “influence” is a better word. However, this does not change the fact that “impact” is also frequently used as a verb meaning “influenciar.” Here is an example:
Enquanto você lê
Ler sobre inglês não é falar inglês.
Em 200 horas a gente tira você do “entendo mas não falo”. Descubra em qual módulo você entra.
Fechei meu primeiro contrato em inglês esse ano.
She was impacted by his godly example.
Because “impact” can be used as a noun meaning “influência” and a verb meaning “influenciar” it is tempting to think that, since it can mean “impacto” that it can also be used as a verb meaning “criar impacto.” However, this is not the case.
There is another example of how this word is used:
