do your homework/(British English) revision (uncountable)/a project on something BUT, when countable, make revisions: e. g. He made some minor revisions to the report before printing it out. Sophia

Sophia is right, but when it comes to revising for a test, we would tend to stick with the verb �I �m off to revise � or you can use do, �I �m doing some revision. � |

Just recently I �ve come across with it in a textbook: - Shall we go out tonight? - I �m afraid I can �t, I �m revising for a math test.
But at the beginning of the lesson when I tell my ss what we �re going to do, I usually say smth like, "Today we finish talking about ... We �re going to... and we �ll do the revision for Unit 7" Sophia |
