amend is formal and it means to correct or make small changes to something that is written or spoken: The law was amended to include women. The defendant later amended his evidence. good luck

"Amend" and "correct" both imply change, but the latter gives the idea that something was wrong, or incorrect. The former means an addition was necessary, reason unknown. The words are not the same.

They're pretty much synonyms :] Correct is more used I think though.
