Lesson 84 : See, Look And Watch

Lesson 84: See VS Look  VS Watch

Willie
Hello! I'm Willie from Page Learning English  Tutorials and in this lesson , we're going to look at the differences between see, watch and look.

All three are verbs and all three involve using your eyes.

See:
See can have many non-literal meanings, but its basic meaning is 'to have the ability to use your eyes' or 'to notice something with your eyes'. It is irregular so: see, saw, seen

I can't see anythig with the lights off.Did you see the full moon last night? It was huge!

Look:
Look means 'to turn your eyes towards something so that you can see it'. Its verb forms are look, looked, looked.

They said that if I look carefully at the painting, I can see a flower.

Watch means 'look at something for a period of time' - really looking carefully. Its verb forms are watch, watched, watched.
