易错句子She is swoting for tomorrow's test.
正确表达She is swotting for tomorrow's test.
swot 是单音节、以“辅音+元音+辅音”结尾、末尾音节重读的动词，加 -ing 前必须先双写词尾 t，再加 -ing，写成 swotting；汉语没有辅音双写变化，容易漏写。

正确表达He is swotting for the final exam.
表示“为考试突击苦读”时，swot 是不及物用法，要用介词 for 引出考试；受汉语“复习考试”这种动宾结构影响，直接接考试作宾语不成立，swot 的宾语只能是学科或内容。

易错句子I swot English for ten minutes every day.
正确表达I study English for ten minutes every day.
swot 特指考前高强度的突击苦读（英式口语），表示“刻苦学习、临阵磨枪”；不用于每天十分钟的日常普通学习，那种情况应用 study。
两者都可指考前突击学习，常与 for 连用（cram for / swot for）。cram 更强调短时间内大量硬记，带有“填鸭”意味，美式英语更常见；swot 是英式非正式用语，语气相对中性，侧重刻苦用功。
revise 在英式英语中指考前系统复习已学内容，语气中性，另有“修订”之义；swot 更强调临时苦读、用功突击，程度更重且更口语化。
study 是通用词，泛指学习或研读，不必然指考前突击；swot 特指为考试而苦读，且是英式非正式说法。表达一般性“学习”时不宜用 swot。
