have a lasting effect

Hear it in real life
Did that experience change you?
Definitely. It left a mark on how I see people.
The economic crisis left a mark on many families in the area.
The mistake everyone makes
Not: The experience left a mark to me.
Say: The experience left a mark on me.
Use "on" before the person or thing affected, not "to."
