These are correct:

and
I would like to go to Chicago for Christmas and my sister's wedding. (no plan at all; only the desire is expressed)

Hi Torsten,
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. |

'Advise' is the verb and 'advice' is the noun. |

'Advise' is correct here, since it's a verb.
But, 'Let me give you a piece of advice' (noun). |

| Go to class vs. go to a class | Work irregularly or keep stalling? |
