OK, I think it's time to discuss the original topic :) Difference between 'watch' and 'see'.... Hmmm... without looking at the dictionary or checking out any English textbooks I'll just think from common sense what the difference between the two words are. Both 'watch' and 'see' involve looking at something, and to that extent, they have essentially the same meaning. However, I would say that 'watch' has a more purposeful meaning. That is, you choose to look at whatever it is that you are looking at. eg. I am watching TV. You chose the action of turning on the TV to watch programs. 'see', on the other hand, may not be so purposeful. So it may literally mean what you see simply becasue your eyes are open. eg. I see a tree on the road. Hope that helps ^^ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 218.210.4.101
