Hi Luke,

They both have almost the same meaning. Please explain the difference in them and when to use them in a sentence. I wrote a post to Jasmine and wasn't sure which one to use.

Thanks,
Learneng

Hi Learneng,

The difference is straightforward, one is a noun, the other a verb.

Advice is a noun
Going to the doctor is my advice

Advise is a verb
I advise you to go to the doctor
