Alter or Modified?

[Mark Chen]

Hi Teachers

Can you tell me how to used the verb "alter" ?
Is it similar to the verb "modify" as below ?

1.I have altered/modified the report.
2.I have altered/modified the contract.
3.The text is modified/altered.

Thanks

Mark

Far better to have used "changed" Mark.

Hi Teacher

So, where should I use "alter"?

LOL, I was referring to your use of "modified" Mark.

To alter/change, have almost the same meaning. You would choose which to use depending on the text.
