to see / to watch
THE PROBLEM: Using incorrectly.
- Like "to hear" and "to listen", the proper usage can be confusing at times.
- When using "to watch" think of a video, film, or sports event.
- You watch: a movie, watch people, watch football matches, watch the stock market, watch the road.
- When using "to see" think of a photo or snapshot.
- You see: a problem, a thing (car, book, etc),
- "I see" also means "I understand."
