Difference between Advise & Advice

[mohaimel]

Hi every one

I am a brand new friend

I wish you can help me

I am always getting confused between advise and advice and I have no idea what the difference is. I use advise always but the spelling checker mark it as a wrong worm. Please advise me what is right.

Thanks

The problem is they aren't spelled the way they sound, but if you can remember the following patterns, you'll be OK:

advise (verb): pronounced advi[z]e
ex: I advi[z]e that you do nothing.

advice (noun): pronounced advi[s]e
ex: I gave her some advi[s]e.

That's some good advice, Cas.

Hi Casiopea

Is the following sentence correct ?
I advise that he do nothing - I know that the verb "advise" is followed by a subjunctive.
Should I say : I advise that he should do nothing.
Which of the two sentences above is the more used in spoken English?
Is there any other way [in other words] to express the idea in this sentence?

Thank you very much in advance.

That is perfectly correct. ("I advise that he...." is a common structure.)

No, you wouldn't be likely to encounter that structure in either spoken or written English. More likely:

I advise him to do nothing.

You could also say:

I think he should do nothing.

Of course, you wouldn't be using advise in that sentence.

We don't use advice in the plural.

Thank you all for your advices.
