    Note

    The -s form leads a different life from the base verb. The money meaning of afford usually follows can, could or able to, and those always take the bare form: she can afford it. So when the -s form does appear, it more often carries the giving meaning: a balcony affords a view, a contract affords income, a window affords light.
