Advice vs Advise - English Grammar - Teaching Tips

 

This video covers the difference between 'advice' and 'advise'. As these two words have a similar pronunciation and spelling, their usage is often confused. In fact, the two words are both are from the same word stem but 'advice' is the noun and 'advise' is the verb. Therefore, their usages are not the same. 'Advice' refers to a proposal for an appropriate course of action. Please give us some advice about planning a trip to France. In this example, we use 'advice' because it is the noun. When we want to describe the action of giving advice or offering a suggestion, we use the verb, or 'advise' spelled with an 's'. A good example would be: I advised them to visit the Pyramids of Giza when they are in Egypt.

This unit gave me some trouble. I was reminded that English is not a logical language. It's very easy to get confused by the tenses. Present perfect continuous present perfect Etc..... I can better understand my students frustration when it comes to the formulas that help them learn. As a Native speaker I have taken this for granted. Thank You John BaratkiThis unit covered the various types of testing and how they can be used. Progress testing can be useful to monitor the students progress and helps to determine weaknesses or subjects that need to be reviewed. Starting the class with a placement or diagnostic test is usually a good plan as it assists in planning lessons to fit what the students already know.
