Hi everyone this is Usha Pandit your
Mindsprings English teacher today we
are going to do advice and advise so
they're not really homophones because
there is a slight difference in
pronunciation and what is that it's
advice and with an S and advise with a Z
ok so advice and advise. Advice and
advise so all of us love to give advice
don't we and we love to advise other
people so we like to give advice and
also advise other people so in one
you've got it as a noun to give advice to
give something to someone right to give
here a piece of advice. and then
you want to advise people you think
you're wise and you want to advise
everybody because it's easy to advise
isn't it it's very difficult to take
advice because you have to follow the
advice and you will then have to work
hard to make it better
whatever your problem was for which you
went and tried to get advice now that
someone has advised you you now have to
follow that advice and therefore you
have to work very hard on the on the
habit that you have maybe that was a
problem but maybe you had some other
problems with people maybe your boss
maybe your colleague maybe your husband
or your wife or your children whenever
we have
problems people tell us what to do and
that telling what to do is advice so an
advice a piece of advice is a suggestion
or an opinion or a recommendation to
pursue a course of action telling you
this is what you should do if your child
is throwing a tantrum you need to calm
him down you need to put him in a place
where he is safe you need to make him
comfortable you need to make sure that
he finishes his tantrum in a safe place
and then you need to talk to him after
that all this is advice but when it's
actually happening doing it is going to
be not only difficult it's going to be
the person you you are the person who
has to do all that is being given to
you as advice has to be followed by you
the person who has advised you has
vanished no more in the picture so
that's the meaning of advice it's a noun
so the sentences are take my advice, let
me give you a piece of advice. So you can
say I took advice I need advice I have
some advice for you they offered or
they provided or they gave advice or you
sought advice so you know with all these
verbs you can use the noun advice okay
basically to give and take that's what
they all mean and see there again you've
got a lot of extra vocabulary that I
have given you all of them either mean
to give or to take so you can also have
adjectives in front of the word advice
so you have profound advice so sometimes
if you go to the spiritual gurus or some
sort of very wise and holy men they
might give you profound advice you can
also get tax advice from your
tax consultant or you can get legal
advice from your legal consultants or
you might get credit advice from your
banks or you might get investment advice
from your banker so all kinds of advice
is given to you so how do you remember
this advice see the ice there so if you
remember nice to give advice it's nice
to give advice you will never forget the
word nice and therefore you will know
how to pronounce the word advice and you
will know that it's a noun okay so this
is advice let's go to advise now advise
is with a Z it's spelt 'ise' and it's
pronounced with a Z so here it's
pronounced it's spelt 'ice' and
pronounced with an S and there it is
pronounced with a Z. To give an opinion
now you are if it is it's a thing that
was given to you that is to give to
actually be in the act of giving so to
give an opinion a suggestion but it's
also got other forms in a very formal
sense advise is used in a formal way to
suggest an official warning or to give
some very formal info in a formal letter
or a formal notice or a formal poster
something very official or it can also
be to reprimand to tick off I'll give
you that word reprimand nice word reprimand.
Reprimand is a nice big word for the
word scold to scold someone to kind of
tell them off to tick them off
phrasing there tick them off and
therefore all of those officially when
you do something in an office that also
you use this word advise but not in that
friendly way of advising you to you know
be careful with your money you should
not talk to strangers that kind of
advice is very
nice to give and good to hear but
sometimes it can be very official very
curt and very cold and then also you use
this word advise. So I'd advise you to
