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,
Torsten

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.

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.

'Practise' is the British English spelling of the verb.
