improve or prove

[wml]

Last week I wanted my teacher in esl help me with my essay.
I asked " can you improve my essay? "
She said: " improve or prove? "
what's the difference?

[Tdol]

If you improve something, you make it better. If you prove something, you show it to be true or correct.

If you improve something, you make it better. If you prove something, you show it to be true or correct.

so what's wrong with " improve" ? " to make it better" is what I meaned

[Tdol]

I don't know- I imagine you wanted help improving it- it's the verb I would have used.
