Characteristic sequence of letters

I always comes before E (but after C, E comes before I) In most words like friend, field, piece,pierce, mischief, thief, tier, it is "i" which comes before "e". But on some words with c just before the pair of e and i, like receive, perceive, "e" comes before "i". But this is not always obeyed as in case of weird and weigh,weight,height,neighbor etc.

Mnemonic:
I before E, except after C\nOr when sounded "A" as in neighbor, weigh and weight\nOr when sounded like "eye" as in height\nAnd "weird" is just weird

Mnemonic:
When it says ee, Put i before e, But not after c

Difference between Advice & Advise, Practice & Practise, Licence & License etc.

Advice, Practice, Licence etc. (those with c) are nouns and Advise, Practise, License etc. are verbs. One way of remembering this is that the word ‘noun’ comes before the word ‘verb’ in the dictionary; likewise ‘c’ comes before ‘s’, so the nouns are ‘practice,licence,advice’ and the verbs are ‘practise,license,advise’.
