This week’s word is ADVICE - an opinion or suggestion that someone gives you about the best thing to do in a particular situation.

So when you have a problem or find yourself in a difficult situation you can seek advice(formal) or ask for advice. (informal)

And when someone gives you advice, you can decide whether to take their advice, act on their advice or simply ignore their advice and do nothing.

Example sentences;

I’m always giving my daughter good advice but she never listens to me.
I took my brother’s advice and quit my job.
If you’re having trouble at school why don’t you ask your teacher for some advice.
I have a serious problem with my neighbours and I’m thinking of seeking legal advice.

REMEMBER - advice is an UNcountable noun so you CANNOT say ‘an advice’ or ‘advices’. You have to say ‘a piece of advice’ or ‘some advice’.

Other adjectives that you can use with advice:  expert; financial; medical; practical; professional
Other verbs that you can use with advice:      accept; follow; get; need; obtain; offer; provide; receive; want

So when do you advise?
