Difference Between Advise and Advice Tue Sep 26, 2006 13:30 pm  Difference Between Advise and Advice
 

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.
Swami

'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).
