Can you give me an advice or some advice?

Published in Grammar Advice 1 min read

No, you should ask "Can you give me some advice?" or "Can you give me a piece of advice?".

Here's why:

  • Advice is uncountable: According to the reference, "Advice is uncountable". This means you can't use the indefinite article "an" directly before it.

  • Correct Usage:

    • Instead of "an advice," you should use "a piece of advice."
    • "Some advice" is also grammatically correct.

Here's an example of offering advice:

If I were you, I'd wait.
