Difference between advise and advice

Hi ,

Here you Go…

Advise:To recommend; suggest: advised patience.,

For Ex:

He advised with her friends.

Advice: Recommendation.

For Ex:

“The man was in such deep distress,”
Said Tom, “that I could do no less
Than give him good advice.” Said Jim:
“If less could have been done for him
I know you well enough, my son,
To know that’s what you would have done.”

Please tell me the difference.


Regards,
Swami.

All Good things come to those who wait.

Advice means an actual information which you give someone. Advise is only a verb. :wink:

Example: I advise you to heed my advices.

Hi NS,

As you know English can be a tricky language. Or shall I say, English is a very idiomatic language? At any rate, there are lots of nouns that can be either countable or uncountable or both. Information and advice both are uncountable. This means, you can give a piece of information or a piece of advice to somebody. Or you can give them some information and some good advice.

Now, if I may give you some advice: Google your phrases if you are not sure whether or not they are good idiomatic English. As a matter of fact, it probably would be very useful to create a guide on how to use Google and other online resources to learn English more effectively.

Here is an example: If you google your phrase “heed my advices” you will see that there only 144 results all of which come from rather questionable websites.
Heed my advice” on the other hand, produces more than 43,000 results…

HI,
The first two phrases ( on going? on-going? ) are differ from (ongoing), how? look:
ongoing means: ( adj)- go on, developing… (e.g : the third world are ongoing countries.)
but on going are: a preposition + noun … (e.g : she is on a going to be a president ) also ( Torsten is a man on the going.)

Ongoing is the only grammatically correct form of the word. It is a word written in a different way by various people, but"ongoing" is the only way in which it should be written, but it can sometimes be seen in reports as an on going enquiry.

On a going is not a valid explanation. On-a-going does not exist in any form that I have ever seen.

Kitos.

Hello Swami
Advise is a verb While advice is a noun.
Father advised her to do good.
This is my advice not to tell lie.
Hope it would be useful

Advice is a noun (receive suggestion)

Advise is a verb (giving suggestion)
