812 - Should We Look, Watch, or See

Michael DiGiacomo Happy English
About this episode
What should I do this weekend? Go see the cherry blossoms, or watch a movie? Or maybe I should go to the museum and look at their collection of modern art. There’s so much to see, watch and look at these days, isn’t there?

See, watch, and look are one of those sets of words that can tend to drive English learner’s crazy. All three of these words have to do with using our eyes, but the way we use them is total different. Today, let’s take a deep dive into how you can exactly use see, watch and look in your everyday English conversations.
