practice vs practise

[Newbie]

what is the different btw practice and practise

[Yankee]

Hi newbie

In the UK, the word 'practise' is a verb, and the word 'practice' is a noun.

In the US, we use the word 'practice' both as a verb and a noun. Basically, we don't use the word 'practise' at all.

Hello all! Another question: Practice - is it a noun? (To) practise - is it a verb?
I ask this, because I see people here are using the word "practise" as in "to practise your skill". So, can I say "to practice your skill" or not?

Thanks.

Please take a look at practise vs. practice.

Thanks,

Hello... So is there any difference in pronounciation between "practice" and "practise"? Or only in writing?

Only in writing, and if the Americans had left well alone, then it would never have been a problem ...... but you know what Americans are like. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Thanks for the reply, Kitosdad!
Unfortunately, I do not know what Americans are like... at least I do not know much :) I hope one day I will have the pleasure :)

Well, of couse, I meet Americans here, on these forums, but I'd like to meet somebody in the real world :)

Please I would like to know about the meaning of these two words, which I find a little confuse for me.

The words are:

Practise, and Practice.

Which is correct?

Thanks for your kind help.

'Practice' is the American English spelling of the noun and the verb.
'Practise' is the British English spelling of the verb.

Greetings teachers and fellow learners!

I've had this doubt for a long time and tried to get an answer from internet or grammar books but I couldn't find any. Can someone explain to me the difference between these two ways of writing practice (or is it practise?)

Thanks in advance.

Viator.

Practice is commonly known as the noun of the verb practise in British English but in American English it's both noun and verb. I think you should recheck in your grammar books as I also learned them from some grammar book.
