Revise means to change. I was planning to teach tomorrow on the use of ghostly images in Hamlet. However, I think we'll compare and contrast it with Oedipus instead.

Hi Gravedigger,
Although it is true that revise can mean to change, in English grammar it can also mean to go over and learn work you have done in preparation for the exam: to revise for an exam is perfectly correct. The problem isn't your vocabulary but your grammar. The grammar in your first sentence is correct, but if you want to use the word revise in the second sentence you would need to

laurabatesto revise for an exam is perfectly correctThis use is not found on this side of the Atlantic. If you said you were revising for an exam, an American would have no idea what you meant. I've never heard it before your post.

What you should know is that American English and British English look alike at a glance,
but actully they are quite differnt.
In American English, the word "revise" means: to change, to amend, etc.
However in the U.K., they use revise as review as well.
So, what Grammar Geek was trying to say is that they, Americans, do not use revise instead of review.
but actully they are quite differnt.
