Today we will be focusing on two sets of confusing words:
1. Advice/Advise
2. Compliment/Complement

# Do you know the difference between advice/advise?

## Let's look at advise.
Advise is according to the Cambridge Dictionary a verb. It means providing another individual with suggestions on the best course of action. 

Eg. I advise you to rather use your blue pencil than your green one. 

## Let's look at advice.
Advice is a noun.  It is the opinion or recommendation given to the person on a specific matter. 

Eg. Thank you, I will act on your advice.

## Let's take a look at compliment
Compliment means giving a polite expression of praise or admiration

Eg. You are an amazing runner.

## Let's look at complement.
Complement is a word or a group of words that completes the meaning of a verb. Like when different tastes of food works together, the complement each other, or when the color of a dress and necklace works together, the complement each other. 

Eg. I went to the shop today to find something that works with this piece of veal. It took me quite sometime but I think I finally found spices, a sauce and some sides that would definitely complement the veal.

# Conclusion
I know that these two words might seem totally insignificant but even the smallest of letters can change the meaning of the words. Like the s/c in advise or advice and the i/e in complement or compliment. Make sure that when you use any of these variations that you use it correctly.
