Note:

Come l'italiano lontano, anche i suoi equivalenti inglesi si possono impiegare in relazione sia allo spazio sia al tempo; vanno comunque distinti gli usi aggettivali da quelli avverbiali. - Come aggettivo, in funzione attributiva lontano si rende con faraway, far-off o distant: un posto lontano tra le montagne = a far-off place in the mountains. In funzione predicativa dopo il verbo to be, se la frase è affermativa lontano si traduce per lo più con away, oppure con a long way away se manca una precisa indicazione di distanza: casa mia è lontana un chilometro = my house is one kilometre away; la chiesa è ancora molto lontana = the church is still a long way away; se invece la frase è negativa o interrogativa, si usa far o far away: è lontana la chiesa? = is the church far?; casa mia non è lontana = my house is not far (away). - Come avverbio, in frase affermativa lontano si può tradurre in vari modi: oggi andiamo lontano = we are driving a long way today; vivo lontano dalla scuola = I live a long way from the school; sentii un cane abbaiare lontano = I heard a dog barking in the distance; in frase negativa e interrogativa, si usa solo far (away) (from): non vivo lontano dalla mia ragazza = I don't live far from my girlfriend; devi andare lontano oggi? = have you got to go far today? - Per questi e altri impieghi, soprattutto idiomatici, della parola lontano e dei suoi equivalenti inglesi, si veda la voce qui sotto

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?
