Had this question at lunch the other day, and I thought the answer might be helpful for others.
We were talking about the difference between “look” and “see”. Sometimes there is confusion about when to use which one.
The simplest way to separate them is that “look” is an action and “see” is the result.
For example:
— Using “Look” and “See”
Look at the silly monkey using a computer.
Can you see that silly monkey using a computer?
Will you look in your room and see if your window is open?
I hope that makes it clear.
