Hello,

"We advice having credited your account with $1000...." says an e-mail from the bank. (good news ineed !).
But, is it wrong if they 'advise' ?

They should have advised you.

Advise is the verb.

Advice is the noun.

I went to the advisors office and asked for some advice on applying for college. She advised me for over an hour.

I advise you to learn the difference between the two words so that in future you can offer other learners some advice.

I got some good advice the other day. I was advised not to stand in the middle of the motorway and wave at the cars.

No Dileep.k, you've still not quite got it.

You should be thanking me for the advice.

Think of it this way. Advise is when someone is actually doing it - advice is the information itself. They are pronounced differently too if that help you distinguish between them. Advice ends with the 's' sound, and advise ends with a 'z' sound.
