Look, see and watch.

A lot of students ask me the difference between these words.

So I'm going to make sure that this video will clear up any confusion.

Let's get started.

Mm 1st.

Let's start with look.

It is used as a regular verb.

We use look when we direct our eyes at something and pay attention to it.

Let's look at some examples.

The first sentence says, look at this old photo of me, I am directing your eyes to the photo.

I want you to pay attention to it with your eyes.

Look it's snowing outside in the same way I want someone to pay attention with their eyes at the snow outside.

Now I will talk about sea.

It is an irregular verb.

The past tense of C.

Is saw.

You should you see when you notice or become aware of something with your eyes, you are not looking for it, but you suddenly see it.

Let's look at some examples.

Let's look at the first sentence.

It says, I see an airplane in the sky.

The person didn't know that there was an airplane in the sky, but they saw it with their eyes.

So I see an airplane in the sky.

She suddenly saw a dog on the street in this example, C is used in the past tense.

Saw she suddenly saw a dog on the street.

She noticed it with her eyes.

Now I will talk about watch.

It is a regular verb.

Watch means to look at something for a long time and to pay attention to it right now.

You are watching my video.

Let's look at some example sentences, The first sentence says I love to watch my cat play.

This is something I like to do for a long time.

Look at and watch this happening.

The next sentence says I watched the football game last night again.

It's something that you watch or pay attention to with your eyes for a long period of time.

You can use watch or see when we talk about movies, tv and concerts.

You can say I watched a movie last night or you can say I saw a movie last night.

So the rules are not so strict and spoke in english about watching or seeing a movie or tv show.

Let's do a check up in this conversation.

There are two sentences in these sentences, we should use the verbs watch see and look.

Take a moment to think about where we use these verbs.

A says blink at the tv.

A is directing bee's eyes to use his eyes to look at the tv.

So again a says look at the tv, you can blink that new tv show.

So because this is a tv show, you can say see or watch in this case let's use watch, you can watch that new tv show and be says oh I blanket already since we already used watch let's use C.

In this case the past tense be says oh I saw it already.

Now, you know the difference between look, see and watch this video is not enough to master these expressions.

You need to keep practicing.
