Oh okay. Maybe I am learning terrible grammar through whoever I live with. -So are there rules on using the words?: <mong> 望 , <gin>見 , <tai hey> -睇 Like situation rules? So what which one I would use if I wanted to say: I like to read a book. I read books before I sleep. I read books for school studies.

<mong> -望:look, view, expect 我望住佢: I look at him 唯有咁望:only we can hope in this way <tai> -睇: watch, (watch over), look, read 我睇緊電影/電視: I am watching a movie/ TV 我睇緊書/雜誌/報紙: I am reading a book/ magazine/ newspaper 我睇住我啲狗- I am watching my dogs. <gin>見: meet, see 我見到佢: I saw him. 今晚見唔見?: Shall we meet tonight? Some meanings are overlapping with each other but sometimes they are used in different situations. I think it depends on usage ^^

I think you made a mistake, <tai> means watch,like <tai hey睇戲> (<hey戲> means film movie), <mong> means look,like <mong chu ngo 望住我> means look at me. hope it will be helpful for you.
