Look: When we see something intentionally, we look at it. So we look at something with a reason, with an intention. "Look" has the central idea of paying attention to something or somebody. e.g.: Look at the plane in the sky. Can you see it? Why are you looking at me like this? As people are able to see, they can see anything which comes in their sight. But when they want to pay attention to something or someone; or when we want them to pay their attention to something or someone, we say "look at the picture, the man, the bird, etc. Watch: when we look at something attentively that is moving, as if we are searching for something, we actually "watch" it. To watch something, means to look at it moving with an intention to do so. e.g.: I wanted to see a movie. I am happy that I am watching it. Did you see the match? Yes, I watched the whole match.

Look', ''watch' and 'see' can easily confuse students of English as they all relate to actions done with our eyes. Look - to look at something for a reason, with an intention. example; ‘Look at that strange man.’ ‘Look at the pictures I took on holiday.’ Watch - to look at something carefully, usually at something which is moving. ‘Watch TV’- the TV doesn’t move, but you watch the moving images carefully. ‘Watch here you are going! You almost stepped on my foot!’ See -to ‘see’ something that comes into our sight that we weren’t looking for. ‘Did you see that bird? – I wasn’t looking for it, it just appeared. ‘I saw you driving to work today.’
