Dear learners!
Remember that we never use the indefinite article with the word 'advice' because it is an uncountable noun in the English Grammar system. E.g.:
- I need advice.
- My best friend can always give me advice.
- All I need from you is good advice.
- Talk to that teacher, you will get a lot of advice.
When you want to specify the possible quantity of advice, you ought to use the phrase 'a piece of advice'. Now, 'pieces' can be counted. E.g.:
- Those three pieces of advice really helped me to overcome stress. The mistake occurs because of the interlingual interference - In Russian the noun "совет" is countable.
So, the sentence below has got the mistake:
'My mother, for example, always understands me and she gives me a good advice.'
