Revisar vs Reseñar vs Repasar

Question

Hi friends,

I always get confused between these three verbs, if someone could help me shed some light I will be grateful.

I have tried looking it up on the internet but couldnt find anything too useful.

The following link was of some help.

Answer 1

My English is no good enought to explain it well so I will write an example hopeing it is usefull.

At the time of study is very useful to take notes of what you consider important.

A la hora de estudiar es muy útil hacer reseñas de lo que consideres importante.

If you're going to have an exam it is good to review the matter to be sure that nothing is going to forget you.

si vas a tener un examen es bueno repasar la materia para asegurarte de que no se te olvida nada

Before going to the exam review your portfolio to make sure that nothing you need be forgotten ,as pencils or erasers.

Antes de ir al examen revisa tu cartera para asegurarte de que no se te olvida nada que puedas necesitar como lapiceros o gomas

Thank you, very helpful examples. - annierats, Nov 9, 2015

astotxua. when you translate "a la hora de estudiar" as At the time of study" you are being overly literal. In English we would say something like "When it's time to study" or "When you study" - malbecblend, Nov 9, 2015
