practises
Works on skills
Practises is the British spelling of the verb meaning to do something repeatedly to improve skill, or to engage regularly in an activity: She practises piano every morning, He practises law in London.
In American English, practice serves as both noun and verb, while British English distinguishes practise (verb) from practice (noun).
