What's the difference between see, look at, and watch? Check out this new lesson on EnglishClub.com. Don't forget to try the quiz. Then come back and tell me the differences between these three sentences:1. I saw the sunrise.2. Look at the sunrise.3. I watched the sun rise.
I participated that particular Quiz, i had gotten , six out of ten. Last one was too hard, before that blog, i thought watch words or verb, we could you use when person, watching TV, Watching mobile screen. and so on. But after read your awesome blog, i learned , any moving things you look, it mean you watch, it is nice lesson. I impressed, Thanks you sharing.
In last...you wrote three Sentences and want some explanation, mmm...i think
I saw the sunrise ( meant I saw the sunlight informally, or with out concentrate )
Look at the sunrise ( meant I looked the sunrise formally, or looked the sunrise to any reason with part of sunlight with concentration)
I watched the sunrise ( meant may be I watched the sunlight on TV, Or any other screen, and may be I watched the sunlight when light had moved gradually)
I looked at #10 again. The "just coming up" suggests that a television or movie clip is about to come onto a screen. Something is going to change. We typically use "watch" for this type of situation, especially if it involves a television. But, don't worry too much about it. You seem to have a great understanding of these.
I took the quiz and I made a mistake in a sentence.
10- (Look at) this part, just coming up! It's hilarious. but the correct answer was "watch".. could you tell my why? is it because there is something moving?
--------
1. I saw the sunrise. (I saw it without an intention.) 2. Look at the sunrise. (I want someone to focus on the sunrise.) 3. I watched the sun rise. (I keep watching the movement of sunrise.)
What I get it is the word (watch) has been used when we see something with a focus (close to observe) and when we watch something moving. However, we use (look) when we want somebody focus on something abstract.
