Grammar

see / look / watch

look (at)
When we look, we try to see. We make a special effort. We concentrate our eyes on something.

Look! It’s snowing!
Look at this photo! Isn’t it beautiful?
I’m looking but I don’t see it.

When we use look with an object, we say look + at + object, for example:
John looked at Mary.

see
We use see to mean simply that an image comes into our eyes. As soon as we open our eyes, we see things.

I can see a cloud in the sky.
I suddenly saw a bird fly in front of me.
Didn’t you see John? He was waving at you.

watch
With the verb watch, we are much more active. Watch is like look, but requires more effort from us. We watch things that are going to move or change in some way. And we watch the movements and changes.

I like watching ice skating on TV.
If you watch that egg for long enough you’ll see it hatch.

We use watch, not see, when we refer to something on the television:
At night, I like to watch the television

If we go outside to see a movie we will use the word “SEE

如果我们出去看电影,我们会用“看”这个词

If we see a movie at home, we will use the word ” WATCH

如果我们在家看电影,我们会用“看”这个词
