Some Good Pieces of Advice

We have been giving each other advice in class lately so let's review the vocabulary.

ADVICE = the noun (the C is pronounced like an S) 

ADVISE = the verb (the S is pronounced like a Z) 

Other verb forms 

GIVE ADVICE 

PROVIDE ADVICE

TAKE MY ADVICE

 

 

NOTE that advice is one of those substantive nouns that must always be singular. Here are some examples of its use:

• Our grandfather provided us with lots of sage advice. (Nuestro abuelo nos proporcionaba muchos consejos sabios).
• We gave her some useful advice but she would not heed our words. (Le dimos consejos útiles pero no nos hizo caso en lo que le habíamos dicho).
• That was not a very good piece of advice.  (Eso no fue un buen consejo).
• He took my advice but he was not very gracious about it. (Recibió nuestro consejo pero no parecía muy agradecido.)
