Please tell me 'practise' is correct or wrong in this statement:of course the best way of practise are English conversations with other people.
In my opinion the write word is 'practice'- a noun. I AM I WRITE OR WRONG? What is the subject of the above sentence? |

As I understand it, Americans use 'practice' for the verb and the noun, while Brits use 'practice' for the noun and 'practise' for the verb. _________________ Native English teacher at Mister Micawber's |

Penalty vs. punishment | What does this phrase mean: 'turn it in'? Is it an idiom? |
