Lesson 1: See, Watch or Look?

See, Watch or Look? Which is the correct term to use?

Look - to look at something for a reason.

Example 1: 'Look at that strange man.'
Example 2: Look what Ive got for you.
Example 3: He looks around the room with his eyes wide open.

See - to 'see' something that comes into our sight that we weren't looking for.

Example 1: Did you see that man? He was murmuring something.
Example 2: I have to see my time table before I can confirm anything. (look can be use in this scenario)
Example 3: I didn't see you the whole morning, where were you?

Watch - to look at something carefully, usually at something which is moving.

Example 1: I watch the TV until late night everyday.
Example 2: "Watch where you are going, You almost stepped on my foot!"
Example 3: I love watching Oprah Winfrey talk show.

Summary: Watch can be use to describe moving things (watching a drama, theater, movie) while look is usually used to describe something that you wanted to know for a reason (look at his eyes, its swollen or look, my dad brings back pizza for us) while see is something that we dont want or looking forward to. (i see that you always come back late since mom died or i can see that he loves to mingle around with his peers)
