Hi To 'mend' something is to fix something that was broken or that had a problem (to mend a punctured tyre, or to mend a broken heart). To amend something is to make changes with the hope of improvement (so it has a positive meaning) - for example: we need to amend the report; we need to amend the timetable Hope this helps!
