advice vs advise - common mistakes!

Advice is a noun, which means an opinion that someone offers you about what you should do or how you should act in a particular situation.

For example: "I need someone to give me some advice."

Advise is a verb, which means to give information and suggest types of action.

For example: "I advise everybody to be nice to their teacher." !

Note - In British English the noun form often ends in ...ice and the verb in ...ise
