Answer 1

Sorry, I don't speak Portuguese, but I'm sure you'll understand anyway.

"Watch" (the verb, not the noun) is more intent and focused

"Look" is intransitive. You can't "look" something. You have to "look at" something or "look with" something. Looking at something when you turn your eyes to it and see it, but are focused on it. It's not as intent as watching, which has some sense of following something with your eyes.

Seeing is basically seeing. Whatever you see. If you have your eyes open, what is there around you? That's what you see.

When you look at something or watch something, it's usually more specific.

I'm looking at your picture implies that you're ONLY looking at the picture.

You can't really watch a picture, I'm afraid. You could watch a cartoon because the picture is constantly changing. Watching has your eyes following it.

I'm seeing your picture implies that... well, it's not good grammar, actually. I see your picture is more accurate; it's as if though you were in a room, and you say, "I see your picture!" You wouldn't say "I'm seeing your picture!" It sounds weird and awkward in English, but it's not necessarily wrong. However, "I'm looking your picture" is wrong, grammatically.

Answer 2

Good morning.
The correct sentence is "I am looking at your picture."

See, Look and Watch are very similar, and frequently mis-used.

Watch is a state of vigilance, of alertness, paying attention.

for example:
"If you want to know how to do this, watch me."
Watch is also used to mean 'be careful'

"Watch where you are walking. There are some puddles on the sidewalk."
"Watch what you say. He's in a bad mood today."

In the last sentence, watch is used figuratively, and just means to be careful.

See means to discern something with the eyes, or to observe.

"Can you see what that sign says?"
"See the red button on the handle? You press it to turn the machine on."

Look is to use one's eyes, to turn the eyes in a specific direction, to focus carefully.

"Look at that rainbow!"
"Look at this mess!"
"Look through the microscope and you can see the little microbes on the slide."

Look is also used with out, as in "Look out!" and in that usage means be careful.

Hope this helps you.

Answer 3

Language, what a wonderful thing....

All can be correct depending on the context.

See refers to the physical sense of sight.

Look refers to an action that one takes to see something.

Watch implies that one is looking at something over a period of time to identify changes.

So...

"I am seeing your picture." implies that someone is trying to communicate that they can physically see the picture that is being discussed.

"I am looking (at) your picture." implies that you are communication the fact that you are examining the content of the picture being discussed.

"I am watching your picture." implies that you are looking at the picture over time to observe any changes that might take place.

Answer 4

I am lookin at your picture. That is correct. See,look and watch almost means the same. However they are used differently at different contexts.

Answer 5

"Seeing things" is pretty much anything that is in front of your eyes.

"Look" is something that the head has to focus on specifically to see.

"Watch" is focusing on something as a spectator, such as watching a football game or watching a dancer.
