· To correctly use the commonly confused verbs “see ” and “watch”

· To correctly use the commonly confused verbs “come” and “go”

Teaching Procedures:

Step 1. Revision

  1. Have a dictation

  2. Do the following translations orally

(1)    The body of a 22-year-old man was found in the doorway of a clothes shop.

(2)    He was last seen leaving his office at about 7 p.m.

(3)    We are interested in hearing from anyone who saw anything unusual.

(4)    I heard that the victim was arrested before for computer crimes.

Step 2. Presentation

  From the above sentences, we know that some verbs have similar meanings and are often confused. Although their meanings are similar, they are not synonyms and we use them in different ways. Try to tell the differences of the following words according to the examples.

Step 3. Explanation

They are not sure whether the victim was killed somewhere else and then brought to Valley Town.

Please take the witness to the room on the left.

(‘Bring’ means to carry something towards the speaker. ‘Take’ means to carry something away from the speaker.)

They can’t hear what Detective Lu is saying because of the noise.

The police listened to the witnesses carefully.

(‘Hear’ means to be aware of sounds.  ‘Listen’ means to pay attention to what you are hearing. ‘Listen’ is usually followed by the preposition ‘to’.)

Did you see a man running down Upper Street?

Detective Lu looked at the knife carefully.

The police is watching every move of the suspect.

(‘See’ means to be aware of objects by using the eyes. You can see something even when you are not paying attention. It just comes to your eyes.  Seeing, or sight is one of the five senses. The others are smell, hearing, touch and taste.  ‘Look’ means to direct your eyes towards something. When you look are something, you concentrate and pay attention to that thing. ‘Look’ is usually followed by the preposition ‘at’.  ‘Watch’ is similar to ‘look’. It means to look at something closely for a time to see what happens. You watch something that is changing, moving or developing. When we want to warn someone of something, we can say ‘Watch out!’ or ‘Look out!’)

She came and sat down beside me.

The witness went to the police station to give Detective Lu new information about the case.

(‘Come’ means to move towards the speaker. ‘Go’means to move away from the speaker.
