هل تعلم الفرق بين See...Look...Watch

[RACHIDGAOU]

Look at these examples first:

*

I can see Mt. Fuji from where I live.
*

Look at that baby girl! She's so cute!
*

I'm going to stay home and watch TV tonight.

Can you tell the difference?

Well, "see" is an "inactive" verb. So long as your eyes are open, you don't have to actively think about the action of "seeing" .

"Look at" and "watch " are "active" verbs. You have to actively think about the action of "looking" and "watching". You have to want to do it.

"Look at" is usually used when the action lasts for a short time, while "watch" is used for actions that last for a longer period of time
