CHOICE OF WORDS:

(1.) Русские глаголы смотреть, видеть соответствуют английским глаголам to see, to look и to watch, которые различаются по характеру обозначаемого действия. Глагол to see smb, smth обозначает использование способности зрения - увидеть/видеть кого-либо, что-либо, в том числе и зрелищное мероприятие; глагол to see обычно сочетается с такими существительными, как a play (a film, the first night, an actor in some play, a programme on TV). To look at smth подразумевает направленный взгляд на что-либо, кого-либо и соответствует русскому глаголу смотреть. Глагол to watch подчеркивает внимательное визуальное изучение какого-либо события, предмета или действия подразумевает заинтересованность смотрящего - (пристально) смотреть, наблюдать, следить, обычно в сочетаниях типа to watch TV (a match, a match on TV, races, figure skating, a game). (2.) See hate, v; USAGE (1.), (2.). (3.) See watch, v WAYS OF DOING THINGS: Глагол to see - в значении "видеть, увидеть" не конкретизирует действия в отличие от глаголов to spot, to sight, to catch sight of, которые, сохраняя значение глагола to see, подчеркивают характер и обстоятельства этого действия (видеть как? при каких обстоятельствах?). To catch sight of - случайно или мельком увидеть, поймать взглядом: She caught sight of her face in the mirror. Она мельком увидела в зеркале свое лицо. I just happened to catch sight of him as he was going past our office. Я заметила его, когда он проходил мимо нашего офиса. It was only when they caught sight of a police car that they realized they were in trouble. Только когда они увидели поицейскую машину, он поняли, что попались. To catch a glance/glimpse - увидеть что-либо, кого-либо на мгновение, не видя этого целиком/полностью: I can't describe him very well - I only caught a glimpse of him. Я не могу его хорошо описать, я видел его мельком - одну минуту. Every one was pushing trying to catch a glimpse, of the hero. Все толкались, пытаясь увидеть героя. To spot - засечь, заметить, увидеть, особенно то, что трудно различить: He spotted the mistake of once. Он сразу заметил/обнаружил ошибку. His deafness wasn't spotted immediately. Его глухоту не сразу обнаружили. I spotted a flaw in the material. Я разглядел дефект на ткани. She spotted the ring under her bed and reached to pick it up. Она увидела кольцо под кроватью и потянулась за ним. To sight - увидеть вдалеке, особенно то, что вы долго искали или ждали: The missing boys were sighted by a rescue helicopter. Заблудившиеся мальчики были обнаружены/замечены спасательным вертолетом. Several deer were sighted in the forest this year. В этом году в лесу были замечены олени. It was many weeks before they sighted land. Прошло несколько недель, прежде чем они увидели землю/сушу

¿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?
