"I'm looking to get some advice..."
Select the correct uses of the term "advice" from the sentences below.
Select the correct uses of the term "advice" from the sentences below.
This is incorrect. "Advice" is an uncountable noun, therefore it is never preceded by "a" or "an". For this to be correct, we would have to say "a final piece (or bit) of advice". We could also say "I'm going to give him some final advice".
This is incorrect. "Advice" expresses "counsel", "recommendation" (what we "should" or "shouldn't" do), and is considered an uncountable noun. It cannot be preceded by an indefinite article and should be preceded by "some" or "a piece of". This sentence should read: "My grandfather gave me some advice", or "My grandfather gave me a piece of advice."
This is a correct usage of "advice". "Advice" expresses "counsel", "recommendation" (what we "should" or "shouldn't" do), and is considered an uncountable noun. To express a singular form, we often say "a piece of advice" (much like "wine" and "a bottle of wine").
This is a correct usage of "advice", and is similar to the way Bruno uses the term. "Advice" is synonymous with "counsel" or a "recommendation". In this sentence, the speaker is requesting "helpful information". In the dialogue, Bruno is asking for any recommendations Ursula has regarding "environmental initiatives".
This is incorrect. The correct expression here is "in my opinion" or "to my mind". "Advice" and "opinion" share similar meanings but they are not interchangeable! An "opinion" describes a belief or idea about something, while "advice" is much closer to "counsel" or "recommendation".

Brian could have also written:
Thank you for all your kind .
Thank you for all your kind .
Brian could have also written:
Thank you for all your kind advice.
Thank you for all your kind advice.
advice: This is correct. "Advice" is an uncountable noun: it is never proceeded by an article (saying "an advice" is incorrect) and doesn't have a plural form (we cannot say "advices"). Famous uncountable nouns include: "information", "damage", "equipment", and of course, "money"!
advices: Oops! The term "advice" never finishes with an S!

A person with a knack for doing something has an aptitude for doing it 3.
1 giving her a warning: The expression "to give someone a heads up" is to warn them about something or let them know in advance that something is happening. Example: The teacher gave us a heads up about the test, saying that it would be difficult.
1 giving her a bit of advice: "Advice" is information or an opinion regarding a problem or subject. Example: Take my advice, and buy Microtosh stock now! A "heads up" is a warning, and not a piece of advice.
1 giving her some encouragement: "Encouragement" refers to supportive words given to someone. Example: My wife's encouragement helped me tremendously after my accident. A "heads up" is a warning, and not encouragement.
1 giving her a head-butt: A "head-butt" describes two men (it's always men because women are too intelligent to do this) knocking their heads together. A "head-butt" can also be an aggressive and violent blow made with the head. Example: The football player was sent off for head-butting the official during the game. There is no relationship between a "head-butt" and a "heads up".
2 be alert: The expression "stay on your toes" is a suggestion that someone stay aware and attentive. Example: Pilots must stay on their toes during the take-off and landing of the airplane. Telling someone to "stay on their toes" is a warning to them to "keep alert" or "stay sharp". Polly is essentially telling Susie to be careful.
2 stick to the point : Someone who "sticks to the point" stays on the main subject and does not get sidetracked or distracted during a discussion. Example: My dad never sticks to the point when he makes political arguments. "To stick to the point" expresses a different idea than the idiom "stay on your toes".
2 be honest: Polly is not encouraging Susie to "be honest", but rather to remain alert or simply to be careful.
2 be polite: Polly is not encouraging Susie to "be polite", but rather to remain alert or simply to be careful.
3 has an aptitude for doing it: To "have a knack for something" is to have a skill or talent for it. Polly writes that Fiona "has a knack for being nosy", which means that Fiona has an aptitude for being curious (to the point of being intrusive). Note: "nosy" is seen as a negative adjective, therefore to say someone "has a knack for it" is slightly ironic. We usually use "knack" with positive qualities. Example: Jim has a knack for saying the right thing at the right time.
3 enjoys doing it: "Enjoying doing something" is different than "having a knack for it". "To enjoy" is to experience pleasure or take satisfaction (from doing something). Example: I enjoy massages.
3 does it very quickly: "Doing something quickly" describes the speed at which someone does something, and not "having a knack for it".
3 avoids doing it: To avoid (doing something) is to stay clear of it, or try not to do it. Someone who avoids hard work tries to never work hard.
