One is stressed on the first syllable and the other the second.

From your analysis, it is still confusing when using it in a sentence. For instance, "I WAS ADVICED/ADVISED TO STAY AWAY"

Advice is a noun. It means a suggestion for a beneficial course of action. Advise is a verb. It means to give advice.

In this case it should be I was advised to stay away.

To my own understanding
Advice is what you give people
Advise is what you get from others.
Abi grammarian correct me o

@ Poster
I will try as much to give a pellucid picture of your quest.

As someone has said above:
Advice is a noun; Advise is a verb. This is how it is used;
If you need advice from someone, it can be written in two forms as thus;
1. I need your ADVICE - In this form, ADVICE is a noun. It is the complement of the sentence, and it's mostly noun.
2. He ADVISED me not to go. - can you see how this is used? It's also used in past tense form, because it's a predicate (verb) of the pronoun 'He'.


@OP, you just have to know when words change from one form to another. There are many of them in English words. From NOUN to ADJECTIVE to VERB to ADVERB.

Hope I answered your question? 'Lemme' know if more is needed.

Good for you as you seek to know. There is wisdom in multitude of counsel. God bless you!
