How it's used
This term carries a formal and professional tone, typically reserved for academic or institutional contexts. It implies a structured evaluation process rather than just a quick glance or casual check. While it is standard in educational settings, it sounds overly stiff if used for casual peer review or informal editing.
Examples
The teacher spent the whole night marking homework and is exhausted.
Could you help me mark this report?

Common mistake
Avoid using this for casual tasks like checking a friend's text message or proofreading a casual email. For those situations, use 睇下 or 檢查 instead.
