Usage Note
Riscrivere follows the same irregular conjugation as scrivere: past participle riscritto, past historic riscrisse. It takes avere as its auxiliary in compound tenses. The prefix ri- signals repetition or revision, so riscrivere un testo means to revise a text from scratch rather than merely editing a few words.
Examples
"Devo riscrivere l'introduzione del saggio."
Natural Translation
I have to rewrite the introduction of the essay.
