  • Hi, everyone. Welcome back to English In A Minute.

  • 'Peep', 'peer' and 'glimpse' are all verbs of sight

  • that mean 'look at something', but are used

  • in different situations. Let's look at some examples:

  • 'My friend peeped at my test answers.'

  • This verb means

  • 'to look at something quickly and secretively'.

  • 'I peered at the document trying to understand it.'

  • 'Peer' means 'to look at something intently

  • or carefully in detail'. It can also be used in another way.

  • 'I was peering at the clock in the distance.'

  • This example means that I had difficulty reading

  • the clock. Maybe the clock was very small

  • or I have bad eyesight.

  • 'I glimpsed the sunlight through the trees.'

  • 'Glimpse' means 'to see something for a short time'

  • or 'to only see part of something'.

  • We often use 'glimpse' as a noun with the verb 'catch'.

  • For example, 'I caught a glimpse of Phil as

  • he left the office.' Bye, everyone.
