- Advice vs advise , how can you best use them please provide examples as well. Thank you
Best answer
First of all you have o understand that one is a noun n one is a verb. Advice (C) is a noun, which means an opinion or a recommendation. For example, Phoebe gave Niece an advice to take a Spanish class next year to further brush up her language skills. While Advise (S) is a verb, which means to give or offer information. For example, I will advise you to sign up for my English lesson class where I will be able to offer more lessons on this kind of word usage. I hope I was able to help.
- Dear tutors Why is it said A University not An University?
Since ‘A’ can’t be used before a vowel e.g An Egg not A egg, An Elephant, An orange, An Umbrella, So then why do we now say A University, A Unique, A uniform?
Best answer
In this context it is more about the phonetics and the pronunciation of the word "University" more than the first letter of the word. The Phonetic pronunciation of the word university is "Yoo-Nuh-Vur-Suh-Tee", so the first phoneme gives a non-vowel sound and hence the reason for the use of A and not An. I hope I was able to help
