Hi! I'm Mia! Please find my corrections below. I don't really use the word, "swamped" unless I'm talking about work, often in, "I am swamped with work". I just use it when I pertain to being overloaded with work.


I'm not saying the use of the word "swamped" is limited to this sentence. You may ask other tutors for their thoughts on this. =)
