In British English, we change the spelling depending on whether it’s a noun (practice) or a verb (to practise). This is similar to the noun ‘advice’ and the verb ‘to advise’. In American English, no such distinction is made. It’s simply ‘practice’ and ‘to practice’.

'Practise' is a verb: : He is practising his English. 'Practice' is a noun: His football practice starts at 3 o'clock. The two words 'practice' and 'practise' are pronounced the same. Note that American English doesn't follow this rule, and spells both the noun and the verb with a 'c'.

Hello Alaa, The parts of speech of these two words are different in British English. "Practice" is a noun whereas "practise" is a verb. E.g: I love to practise English. (Verb) British I take ours of practice to learn English. (Noun) British But we use "practice" for both verb and noun in American English, and the spelling doesn't change. E.g: I love to practice English. (Verb) American I take ours of practice to learn English. (Noun) American Hope this helps.

"Practise" is British English, "Practice" is American. Brits use Ss where Americans use Cs.
