  • Difference between 'See', 'Watch' and 'Look' - English Grammar lesson
    Take a test : learnex.in/diff...
    Many people wrongly use these verbs as they are verbs related to vision. They can't be used interchangeably. Though they are vision related verbs, they have to be used appropriately depending on the situation.
    See : is a verb of perception. It is an involuntary and an effortless action. Do not use it in the continuous/progressive form 'seeing'.
    Example : I saw Samantha at school yesterday. (casually you noted her presence)
    Example : John saw a good film yesterday. (to express that an action is completed, in this case, we are talking about watching the film. 'Watch' can be used in plce of 'see' in this example)
    Example : Kelly saw the doctor last eveng. (here, it means she visited the doctor)
    Example : I will see the Marketing team tomorrow. (it means you have an appointment)
    Look : is used when you want to give a particular direction to your eyes. When you 'look' at something, it means you concentrate and focus on it. You see something specific at one time. Do not us the verb 'look' in its progressive/continuous form 'looking'.
    Example : Look! It's snowing. (so you change the direction of your eys and look towards the window)
    Example : Look at th sky.
    Watch : is used when there is a movement involved. You concentrate on something for a long time, like a movie/sport.
    Example : I'm watchng an English movie.
    Example : Watch the kittens as they may run away.(pay attention to the kittens)

    Thank you for the lesson. But "look" can be used in continuous form.
    Non-continuous meaning "seem" - as in It looks impossible.
    Continuous meaning "stare at" - as in Im looking at the strange man.
    "See" also can be used in the continuous form if the meaning is "visit"
    She is seeing a doctor this morning.

    Hello! I am learning english with you, and I need to ask you a question…
    In this video: Between Vs Among - English Grammar Lesson ( IELTS & TOEFL) you explained how to use correctly "between" and "amog".
    What I understood is that when you have more than two options to choose, you use "among". But in the title of this video you have three options (see, watch and look) and you are using "between". Why is that? Thank you for your answer ;)

    There is similarity in all, 'see, look and watch' but we need to use it according to the situation or sentences structure. In the example of 'kittens', it does not emphasize that focus but long period of time. We can not say just focusing!@Neeha Ali. Thanks.

    Very massive acknowledged lesson reveald by her on the contrary, i have a little bit confusion at the ending when she was delevring a piece lesson at watch.
    Now my confusion about lesson is ; as she reveald a watch meaning , looking at something for a long period of time with entire attention.
    Then
    What is the word "look after" means?
    As it the word used for an entire life progress. There ought be "watch after" according to her spoken defination.
    Please, clear me mentioned point?
    Otherwise, lesson is marvellou.
    Thank you.
