Have you had a hard time deciding which verb to use? Do some verbs seem to have the same meaning to you? Did you finally decide to use them interchangeably? And what do you think about the following verbs: see \/ look \/ watch? Do you know how to differentiate them? Well, in this article, I\u2019d like to talk about the differences and examples of using \u2018see\u2019, \u2018look\u2019, and \u2018watch\u2019.<\/p>\n

First, let\u2019s define their meaning individually:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The verb \u2018to see\u2019<\/em> means seeing something or someone naturally without much thinking (in Bahasa Indonesia, we normally refer this verb to as melihat<\/em>).<\/li>\n
  2. The verb \u2018to look\u2019<\/em> means making an effort to gaze toward something or someone, and usually, it is in a specified direction (in Bahasa Indonesia, we normally refer this verb to as menatap<\/em> or sometimes also melihat).<\/em><\/li>\n
  3. The verb \u2018to watch\u2019<\/em> means to look at or observe something (or someone) attentively and typically for a period of time (in Bahasa Indonesia, we normally refer this verb to as menonton).<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Based on the definition, it is clear that one should not confuse them for having the same meaning and that they cannot be used interchangeably. To make things easier to understand, let us take a look at the following examples on how each of those verbs is used:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • To see:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        \n
      1. When I was walking down the road, I saw<\/u> the beautiful hills.<\/li>\n
      2. Can you see<\/u> him wearing a bright blue shirt?<\/li>\n
      3. Have you seen<\/u> Tim? I need to talk to him about the project we\u2019re doing this month.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          \n
        • To look:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
            \n
          1. She looks<\/u> at me fiercely and I\u2019m not sure why.<\/li>\n
          2. I\u2019m looking<\/u> at the sign and reading it out loud for the kids.<\/li>\n
          3. I don\u2019t have to do it again because I\u2019ve looked<\/u> at the signs and memorized them.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
              \n
            • To watch:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
                \n
              1. Were you watching<\/u> Korean drama again? No wonder you\u2019re always late.<\/li>\n
              2. Have you watched<\/u> their new advertisement videos? They are awesome.<\/li>\n
              3. My father doesn\u2019t have much to do in the morning so he usually watches<\/u> news on TV.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                So there you have it. There will be more articles on \u2018confusing\u2019 verbs coming and I hope they can help with your English. Happy learning!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
