How to Pronounce 'Use'
In American English, 'use' is pronounced 2 ways. If it's used as a noun, the final sound is an 's', if used as a verb, the final sound is a 'z'.
May I use /yooz/ your car?
That gadget has only one use /yoos/.
But then again, we're not supposed to be that strict in pronunciation! So it's up to you!

Hi, Eric. As far as I know, it's the same in BrE. Something students tend to find difficult to remember is the pronunciation of "used" in "to be used to doing something" and in the modal "used to".
