An Amine is best defined as a derivative of ammonia (NH3) where one or more N-H bonds are replaced by N-C bonds. Primary amines have one N-H bond replaced by a N-c bond, whereas secondary has two N-C bonds with one N-H bond and tertiary has all three N-C bonds making the molecular formula NC3. An amide is a nitrogen bonded to a carbonyl group.

amide is carbonyl group with nitrogen

and an amine is RNH2 (general formula) although u could get primary, secondary and tertiary amines. where the number of hydrogens reduce by one respectively.

In amines R-NH2 the lone pair of nitrogen is available for attack of an acid so it is a base but in amides R-CO-NH2 the lone pair of nitrogen becomes involved in resonance process due to electrons attracting effect of oxygen and is not available for the attack of an acid so it is not basic, the resonance effect produces positive charge on nitrogen atom so it may remove hydrogen ion and may acts as an acid.
