To see means to notice something with your eyes, often without trying. For example, I can see the mountains from my window. Did you see that shooting star? He saw a dog run across the street. Look means to direct your eyes at something on purpose. It's active. You choose where to focus your attention. For example, look at that beautiful sunset. She looked in the mirror. All the students were looking at the board. Watch means to look at something for a period of time, often something moving or changing. So watching involves attention over time. For example, we watched a movie last night. He's watching the kids' soccer game. I love watching espresso English videos on YouTube.
