what is the difference?

[RXSRK]

What is the difference between practice and practise and where two use these two words. Can someone explain it by using these words in a sentence?

[Sound of Silence]

Well, I think in British Usage 'Practice' is used for a noun: it's a private practice, while 'practise' in British Eng is used for the verb: we practised the piano. In American English, I think 'practice' is used for both noun and verb, I'm not entirely sure on this one.

In america, "practice" is a noun and a verb yup. So you can practice your instrument during band practice in a month of band practices.

Yes, Sound of Silence is correct.

In BrE, there are several words where -ce is the noun and -se is the verb:

Advise/advice: It is advisable to advise when we will offer some advice.
