¿To see, to watch o to look?
Los tres verbos reflejan tres conceptos muy distintos. To see hace referencia a la capacidad visual y no es fruto de una acción deliberada. A menudo se usa con can o could: I can see the mountains from my bedroom. Puedo ver las montañas desde mi dormitorio.
To look at implica una acción deliberada: I saw an old atlas, so I opened it and looked at the maps. Vi un atlas antiguo, así que lo abrí y miré los mapas.
To watch también se refiere a una acción deliberada, a menudo cuando se tiene un interés especial por lo que ocurre: I watched the planes in the sky with great interest. Miraba los aviones en el cielo con gran interés. Igualmente puede indicar el paso del tiempo (we watched the animals playing for half an hour, durante media hora observamos cómo jugaban los animales), movimiento (they stood there watching the cars drive off into the distance, se quedaron allí de pie viendo cómo se marchaban los coches) o vigilancia (the policemen have been watching this house because they thought we were thieves, los policías estaban vigilando la casa porque pensaban que éramos ladrones).
Para hablar de películas u obras de teatro usamos to see: Have you seen Hamlet?, ¿Has visto Hamlet? To watch se refiere a la televisión y los deportes en general: I always watch the television in the evening. Siempre veo la televisión por las noches. I like to watch football. Me gusta ver el fútbol. Al hablar de programas o partidos específicos podemos usar tanto to watch como to see: I like to see/watch the news at 9:00. Me gusta ver las noticias a las 9.00. Did you see/watch the match last night?, ¿Viste el partido anoche?

Si noti che much e many sono preferibilmente usati in frasi negative e interrogative, mentre in frasi affermative sono spesso sostituiti da a lot (of), lots (of), plenty (of), a good / great deal (of): molte persone = a lot of people; guadagno molto = I earn a lot. - Come avverbio, molto si usa dopo un verbo, e in tal caso si traduce much, very much o a lot ( non bevo mai molto = I never drink much / very much / a lot); quando precede un altro avverbio o un aggettivo, si traduce con very ( molto presto = very soon; molto veloce = very fast), ma se tale avverbio o aggettivo è al comparativo si rende con much ( molto più presto = much sooner; molto più veloce = much faster). - v. anche la nota della voce alcuno. ⇒ 311 (un gran numero di) - i fiori many flowers; - e persone many o a lot of people; è da -i anni che it's a long time that2 (una gran quantità di) - i soldi lots o plenty o a great deal of money; - a gente many people; non rimane più molto pane there isn't much bread left; abbiamo fatto -a strada we've gone very far3 (tanto) con -a gentilezza, cura with much o great kindness, care; ho -a fame, paura I'm very hungry, scared; fate -a attenzione be very careful; avere -a fortuna to be very lucky, to have a lot of luck4 (in un comparativo) molto più, meno denaro much more, less money; -e meno persone, -i meno libri far fewer people, books; è molto più difficile it's much more difficult1 (un gran numero) - i di loro many of them; -i dei luoghi che ho visitato... many of the places I visited...2 (tante persone) - i sono pensionati many (of them) are pensioners; - i sono tentati di crederlo many people tend to believe him3 (tanto) vincere, scrivere molto to win, write a lot; ho molto da fare I've got a lot of things to do; avete già fatto molto per me you've already done so much for me; non ci vuole molto a capirlo it doesn't take much understanding; molto di quello che dici è vero much of what you say is true; non me ne intendo molto di cinema I don't know much about cinema4 (tanto tempo) è da molto che non lo vedo I haven't seen him for a long time o for so long; aspetti da molto? have you been waiting long? non ci vorrà molto a finire it won't take long to finish; fra non molto before long; ho aspettato molto I waited for a long time5 (una gran cosa) è già molto se non ci sbatte fuori we'll be lucky if he doesn't throw us out; è già molto che sia venuta it's already saying a lot that she came; è molto per la tua età it's a lot for your age6 a dir molto at the utmostIII avverbio1 (con un verbo) la ringrazio molto I thank you very much; amare molto qcn. to love sb. very much; va molto a teatro he goes to the theatre a lot; è cambiato molto he has changed a lot; non mi piace molto I don't really like it; mi è piaciuto molto I enjoyed it very much o a great deal2 (con un avverbio) very; molto bene very well; sto molto bene I'm really fine, I feel very well; si è comportato molto male he behaved really badly; molto gentilmente, volentieri very kindly, with much pleasure; molto prima, dopo a long time before, after3 (con un aggettivo o un participio passato) molto felice, pulito, famoso very happy, clean, famous; è molto amato a scuola he's very much loved at school; molto in anticipo far in advance4 (in un comparativo) sta molto meglio he's much better; molto meno much less; lavora molto più velocemente di me he works much faster than me. -
