Which of these two sentences is corretc:

It was so hot that one of the students fainted in the school playground but we managet to bring him back.

or

It was so hot that one of the students fainted in the school playground but we managet to bring him round.

Would it be a mistake to use the first one?

"Bring him back" and "bring him round" are both slang terms you shouldn't use if this is a homework assignment.

Depends on the assignment really. Slang is commonly used in many literary works nowadays.

And to your question, I think you should probably try to rephrase the sentence or something.

"Grammar" and "managed" and "correct", that's all. Your spelling is fine other than that.

"Bring him around" is better than "bring him round".
