Teia will become famous soon enough
Default Practice

Hi

As far as I know practice is a noun and practise is a verb.
My question is : can practice be used as a verb? Is it correct? I have noticed that some English natives use practice as a verb.


Thank you very much.

Default Re: Practice

British English makes a spelling distinction between 'practice' - the noun and 'practise' - the verb. American English uses the spelling 'practice' for both verb and noun.
