Practise - verb
Practice - noun

It is like advise (verb) and advice (noun)

You can also remember that 'ice' is a noun and so is 'practice'. Works for me!

Except in the US, where the distinction is nearly obsolete. (Both are spelled "practice.")

I suppose it would be easier to remember if there was a difference in pronunciation, as in advice/ advise.

in the US both are "practise", as with "license"

I remember it like this-

You have to practiSe your Spellings

And

A doCtor has a mediCal practiCe

All the US books I've read use 'practice' for both noun and verb.

I too thought the US only used 'practice.'

apologies - yes US is "practice" but "license" for both noun and verb, just to be confusing
and also "defines", "pretense" and others
