Practice (noun) 1 = something that is repeated over and over: Examples: 'We do two hours' practice every day in order to improve our skills.' Practice (noun) 2 = a habit or method of doing something: Example: 'Brushing your teeth after every meal is a wise practice.' Practice (noun) 3 = a business where professional services are provided, e.g. doctor, dentist, solicitor, accountant Example: 'My doctor has a practice in Burwood, but also has practices elsewhere.' Practise (v) - the action of doing something over and over Examples: 'We've been practising every day in order to improve our skills.' ‘He practised even more than usual in the lead-up to the match .’ ‘Practising often ensures steady improvement.' ‘Why don't you practise what you preach?’ ‘He practises on his keyboard as soon as he gets home from school.
