Culture To Grow

Episode 21: Birthday Culture Around the World Part 2

I want to talk to you about two very often confused words advice and advise. 
Advice. 
- Advice is a noun, an uncountable noun.It is spelled a-d-v-i-c-e. The ‘c’ sounds like an ‘s’. Advice. It is used to mean a suggestion about what you should do. 
Advise
- 
Advise is spelled a-d-v-i-s-e, and is a verb. The ‘s’ sounds like a ‘z’. Advise. It means to suggest what should be done, to recommend or to give information to someone. 
The main difference between advice and advise is the grammar.  So obviously, you can't use a noun in the place of a verb or a verb in the place of a noun. So if you know which is which and which pronunciation goes with which, you will never get it wrong. But a big problem is with advice being uncountable. So many times I hear, can I give you an advice? No no… it to give me a piece of advice or some advice - depending on whether you mean something singular or plural.
In theory it is very simple to understand, but if you don’t pay attention to learning the rules it can make a  big difference to you getting it right or wrong in Business English.
Every day, I hear so many advanced speakers who use these words wrong. So have a look, learn it, fix it, never get it wrong again. That's it today. Bye.
