ADVICE - ADVISE
Theory:
The words advise and advice can cause some confusion.
For example:
I need some ADVICE, so who can ADVISE me, and can I have many ADVICES?
In the sentence I NEED SOME ADVICE, ADVICE is an uncountable noun.
It is also spelt differently from ADVISE, which is a verb.
For example:
Can you ADVISE me what to do.
ADVICE is an uncountable noun, so the correct form is SOME ADVICE.
AN ADVICE is incorrect.
Many ADVICES is also incorrect.
ADVISE is a verb.
