Modify: 1- to change sth slightly, especially in order to make it more suitable for a particular purpose synonym = adapt 2- to make sth less extreme synonym =adjust ..................................................... Revise : 1- to change your opinions or plans, for example because of sth you have learned examples: I can see I will have to revise my opinions of his abilities now. The government may need to revise its policy in the light of this report. 2- to change sth, such as a book or an estimate, in order to correct or improve it. examples : a revised edition of a textbook I’ll prepare a revised estimate for you. We may have to revise this figure upwards.
