Hear it in context
Notice where the phrase sounds natural.
My teacher gave me some useful advice before the exam.
In my opinion, parents can offer useful advice to teenagers about making important life choices.
Fix the pattern
One small grammar move makes it sound right.
Not: She gave me some useful advices.
Say: She gave me some useful advice.
'Advice' is uncountable — no 'advices'; for one item say 'a piece of advice'.
Which sounds natural?
Tap the one a native speaker would say.
Natural; 'imparted beneficial counsel' is archaic/formal.
