Really good lesson, Please, would you mind to put more some example on how to use advice and advise..
One question.
Is is right to say:
“Thanks for the advices that have you gave to us”
Thanks for help.
Only to correct,
“Is it right to say”
Sure, Marcos.
I advise you to study English for half an hour every day.
If you follow my advice, your English will improve steadily.
The doctor advised John to start exercising.
John decided to take his doctor’s advice seriously, and started losing weight the following month.
Also, you cannot add an s to the noun advice. It is a non-count noun.
For example,
Correct:
She gave him much advice about his career.
Incorrect:
She gave him many advices about his career.
Valen’s lesson on Countable Nouns explains this concept in detail.
Good luck to you!
Respected mam,
i like ur style of teaching,it was very helpful for me
u r wonderful i like u so much ,mam r u from australia
i love u mam
Glad you enjoyed the lesson, Karan.
No, I’m not from Australia. I live in Canada now, though I have lived in other places in my life.
what about verb advise..can we add an s?e.g:Ms Rebecca advises us to speak English everyday…
Ms Rebecca=she..so we have to add an s to the verb advise right?
I read your question and I think you wanted to say “Thanks for the advices that you have given to us”.
yes, i think so too.
I like this program
Glad I could help.
i am from suadi i have difcllt to speak E
and thank you for this wep sit. ti si good
The main point is that you understand where you are and want to improve. Keep watching the lessons and pay close attention to English whenever you encounter it – in person, on TV, in the movies, in songs and so on. The Internet also has many great sites to help you improve your English. Good luck, wadha.
thank you rebecca!
My pleasure :)
Thank you for the advice or it is advise?
It’s advice isn’t it?
Please advice!
I’m so confused ESL isn’t for me :(
Yes, it should be:
“Thank you for your advice.”
or
“Please advise me…”
Keep going and you’ll get it… just like with any other skill. You can do it! Try the quiz above for additional practice.
Thank you Rebecca
I am going to take in account every your advices and I am going to advise to others to visit your website.
Greetings from Chile
Thanks for your comments. Actually, the correct way to say that is:
I am going to take all your advice into account and I’m going to advise others to visit your website.
Hope this helps.

hi Rebecca mam thanks.You are a great teacher please send me also detais about tenses
I’m really confused now. Shouldn’t it be “confusing words” instead of “confused words”? I thought only a person can be confused by something like you told us in the lesson “Bored – Boring”.
Anyway, thank you for the lesson, Rebecca! It’s really helpful.
Good day, Dear Rebecca! I am learning english for my job. I can read very well, I understand your speech per 85% approximately, but I can’t speak so well as I want, because, I havn’t the practice.

Thanks alot but I want you to show me how to prepare for getting the high marks in IELTS.

Dear Rebecca, I must admit that I am really glad I found this site. I love your vids. I’ve seen lots of them, but I’ve never left a comment. Shame on me :-)I have an English speaking friends, but this time I want to ask you ;-) I was tought (at uni) to say a piece of advice…e.g. I am going to take all your pieces of advice into account and I’m going to give a piece of advice (or some pieces of advice)to others to visit your website. Is it okey/correct to say that way? Anyway I see that your way of applying this word (noun/verb)is better, easier, and shorter :-D Thanks a lot, and keep making more and more vids
advise is a verb while advice is noun.
If I would like to send email to inform someone. It should be “Please be advised the date….. or please be advice the date…
Thank you
