Hi,
'View' is very much like a picture that you see, which fits here. 'Sight' is either the sense of seeing or something that you see that is outstanding.

Hi all, I am having a trouble with the use of verb see and view. Anyone can help me to clarify the usage by giving examples ? We use the verb of see or view at what circumstances? for instance: see the lovely city or view the lovely city
Thanks and Appreciate! |

Hello, The 2.question doesn't work. I twice wrote "sight" and it told me that I had written "view !!! Bye! _________________ Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend. |

The correct answer is 'view'.
If you choose 'sight' then the answer key tells you that the correct answer is 'view' and 'sight' is incorrect:

Hello,
Now I see that Alan recommended "view". For the first time I wrote "view" then it was replaced by "sight". So no wonder that the sight was bad twice and the "view" would have been good, if the test had accepted it. Bye: Kati

Hi Kati,
The test does accept 'view'! If you select view (the correct answer), this is what you see:

Hello Bez,
You answered me very soon. Or you don't believe me that my first answer was view? And when the test told me the sight is good I wrote twice sight - of course the last two answers was bad, but not the first.

One thing is good in this case that I lose my mood to continue. _________________ Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend. |

Hello,
I correct my own mistakes maybe that (mistakes) will teach somebody a lesson.
In first letter I lost the grammar of conditional clause 3. I would have written "view".....I omitted the view. Of course I know theoretically only if I have to write if had written (cond.3) or if I wrote (cond.2.) and there isn't if I have to write would. past cond: My test would have been good if the computer had accepted my first answer. present cond: My test would be good if the computer accepted my first answer.
++++
In the second letter: I forgot to synchronize the plural subject with the verb. This is a big carelessness!!! ...the last two answers were bad.
Regards: Kati svaby
