Welcome to Ideas&Thoughts. Today's lesson is about the two words advice and advise since they usually misused and confused. Advice or advise?
Advice /ədˈvɑɪs/ is a noun and means a suggestion about what someone should do. It is uncountable:
Let me give you some advice: stay away from Margaret.
Not: Let me give you an advice
She gave him a lot of advice, but I don’t think he listened.
Not: …a lot of advices …
If we want to use advice in a countable way, then we use the phrase a piece of advice:
I have two pieces of advice for you about the holiday.
We use the verb advise /ədˈvɑɪz/ to mean ‘to give someone advice’:
I strongly advise you to lose weight.
They finally did what we advised.
