I feel to learn perfect english is never ending although we speak or use in everyday life. I understand that I knew very little and have to
know a lot more............(ocean),. I think even experts have to go through these lessons once, to pass on for other generation, especially for teachers and parents.
Hope I'll go through each and every unit.
I love to (do) learn your lessons and excercises.
Thanks a lot,
Rama

Hi Yushiechiang,

All three verbs you have quoted are in the past. 'Saw' is the past of 'see' and simply refers to using your eyes as in: I saw that man cross the street.

'Looked' as the past tense of 'look' is often used with the preposition 'at' when it takes an object and suggests that you are directing your eyes at a particular object as in: I looked at the pictures you showed me of your holiday.

'Viewed' as the past tense of 'view' gives the idea of looking at something closely perhaps through a telescope as in: We viewed the bird through our binoculars.

'Watched ' as the past of 'watch' suggests looking at something in action as in: We watched the football match from one of the best seats.

Hope that helps.

Alan

Hi Linh5388,

Welcome to you on your first post. In answer to your question, I don't think I can. Perhaps you could tell me which part of my answer you find difficult to understand.

Alan

You will need to explain your question a little better, I'm afraid, Deepak.
Are you asking about a specific noun and what do you want to know about it?
