Hi, my name is Rebecca and today
We're going to be talking about two commonly confused words in English
And I've written them on the board right behind me so let's have a look
These are advice and
advise
Now what is advice advice is something which is an opinion or recommendation offered as a guide to action?
from one person to another person for example a doctor might give advice a
Parent might give you advice a lawyer can provide advice, okay?
So it's some sort of recommendation by someone who has either more experience or more maturity or more professional knowledge about something
Now let's look at both of the words, So advice
The first word that I said is it noun the doctor gave advice
the second word advise is A
Verb the doctor advised me
See the difference the doctor gave me some advice
now
the Doctor advised me verb
There's also a difference in terms of the spelling the noun advice is spelled with a C. See it here
The verb advise is spelled with sorry
with an s okay
the verb advise is spelled with an s
advise
next difference
pronunciation
advice
Which is spelled with a C is
Pronounced however like an s let's listen to it again
advice
Advice Advice as an s sound the verb advise
Let's Hear it again advise
advise the s sound has in fact a z
the s letter has the sound of Z advise
Could you please advise?
Okay, so let's review the differences advice is a noun
which is spelled with the s and which sounds like s
Advise is a verb
Which is spelled with an s and which is pronounced like a z okay?
Let's do a little bit of review and see if you can tell me which word I'm using now in this example
Sentences our teacher advised us to review the prepositions
Our teacher advised us to review the prepositions
Which word did I use?
this one
You're right. It's this one our teacher advised us. We're using it as a verb
Also, it has the sound of z
Let's take another example if you want my advice. You should take that job
If you want my advice, you should take that job
Which word are we using now?
this one
Okay, if you said the first one you are right if you want my advice. You should take that job
We were using the noun alright?, so when you are
writing these words try to think for a minute if you're talking about the noun or if you're talking about the action and
Spell them accordingly
Now let's do a little short quiz to end
I'm going to say the word and you tell me if I am saying
the noun or the verb according to the
Pronunciation because it's also important not only for you to spell them properly
But also to pronounce them properly when you are speaking to someone okay, so I'm going to say them right now here. We go
Advice advice
Which one did I say?
first One now again advice
advice
Which one again, but now?
Here we go again advise
Advise
It's time. I'm saying the verb. Let's do it again advise
Now advise
verb okay
Practice those on your own after you've had a chance to watch the video
And I hope that you'll be able to differentiate when you want to use either of these words
