3 分钟Hi, and welcome to the Espresso English podcast,
where you can improve your English in just a few minutes a day.
My name is Shayna, and I'm the teacher at Espresso English.
Make sure to visit the website, espressoenglish.net,
where you can get online courses and ebooks that will help you learn English even faster.
Let's get started with today's lesson.
In English, we see a sign, look at the sunset,
and watch TV, but why so many words for just using your eyes?
If you've ever mixed up see, look, and watch, you're not alone.
In this video, I'll teach you the difference with clear examples.
So let's take a closer look at these three very common verbs.
Before we get started,
my free gift to you is a PDF teaching even more confusing verbs like start versus begin,
close and shut, and listen or hear.
Click on the link in the video description and enter your email address to download it today so you can clear up your doubts about when to use each one.
To see means to notice something with your eyes, often without trying.
For example, I can see the mountains from my window.
Did you see that shooting star?
He saw a dog run across the street.
Look means to direct your eyes at something on purpose.
