  • now your verbs look at your verbs look at

  • your verbs hi everybody my name is Alicia welcome back to know your verbs

  • in this episode we're going to talk about the verb look so let's go

  • the basic definition of the verb look is to use your eyes to use your skills of

  • vision - yeah to use your eyes to look to turn your eyes towards something to

  • use your vision is to look the difference between the verb see if you

  • watch the see episode of know your verbs seeing means to perceive something with

  • the eyes look means like to focus the eyes on something to direct your

  • attention towards something whereas see is like to take in something to perceive

  • to gain information with the eyes Luke is just focusing your attention in

  • something on something conjugations let's check out the conjugations of this

  • verb present tense look or looks past tense looked past participle looked

  • progressive or continuous tense looking so let's check out some of the

  • additional meetings of the verb look first to appear in accordance with here

  • are some examples she's had a rough year yeah she looks at Bern second example

  • he's 60 he doesn't look it okay so in these example sentences look is

  • referring to matching some other information about a person or about a

  • condition about a situation so in this case in the first example sentence we

  • hear she's had a rough year and then the response to that is yeah she looks it so

  • it means it in other words the it here means as though she's had a rough year

  • she looks meaning she appears in accordance with the fact she has had a

  • rough year but that's a very long thing to say instead we say yeah she looks it

  • she's her appearance suggests what you have just said she's had a rough year

  • yeah she looks it where it equals rough year and looks shows that matches so her

  • look matches this rough year fact we've learned about her the second sentence is

  • similar someone says he's 16 meaning he's 60

  • years old but we hear the negative response he doesn't look it meaning he

  • does not appear as a 60 year old man meaning in other words he probably looks

  • much younger than 60 he doesn't look it could be that he seems way way older

  • than 60 years old like if someone looks ancient if someone has the appearance of

  • a very very old person and you go oh my gosh he's 60 he doesn't look it that's

  • possible too that's possible I suppose so do you just have to gauge based on

  • the intonation so we can use an expression like that to mean someone is

  • significantly younger or older the next meaning is two seam to seam

  • here are some examples this looks pretty tough this is looking like it's going to

  • be easier than I thought in these example sentences we can

  • replace the verb look with seam the meaning stays the same so this looks

  • pretty tough has the same meaning as this seems pretty tough so to seem and

  • to look have the same meaning in these examples in the second example sentence

  • we saw this is looking like it's going to be easier than I thought

  • we can replace looking with seaming and the meaning stays the same this is

  • seeming like it's going to be easier than I thought so both of these we can

  • simply replace the verb and we have the same meaning in these cases so look

  • means to seen why would you use look instead of seeing what is the difference

  • here for me personally I think seam sounds slightly more formal than look I

  • would not use seam in most cases I would say looks in most cases when I want to

  • say seam if I want to sound slightly more formal or slightly more polite I

  • would probably use seen this seems to be the problem what seems to be the problem

  • instead of what looks like the problem look at how it looks like this one's

  • your problem I look sounds like not nearly as formal alright next is to have

  • in mind as a goal to have in mind as a goal here are some examples we're

  • looking to buy a new car by the end of the month he's looking to complete his

  • job transfer by next month so both of these sentences define a goal they

  • explain a goal we're also using the progressive form of looking so that

  • means we are in the progress of working towards a goal or in the progress of

  • completing a goal in the first example sentence we're looking to buy a new car

  • by the end of the month means our goal is to buy a new car by the end of the

  • month and we are currently trying to do that but this is quite a long expression

  • so instead we use look we are looking to buy a new car I suppose we could replace

  • this with the verb aiming to we're aiming to buy a new car aiming but

  • aiming sounds rather formal and looking is a little bit more casual so we're

  • looking to buy a new car in the second sentence he's looking to complete his

  • job transfer by next month we see the same thing his goal is to complete his

  • job transfer and his aim is to do it by next month so he is currently

  • working towards his goal he's looking to complete something we use it in the

  • progressive tents to show he is currently trying to achieve this goal to

  • achieve this outcome the next meaning is to express with your

  • eyes or with your face so you're actually you're creating an appearance

  • with your eyes or your face and expression in other words here are some

  • examples she looked surprised they look pretty angry here both of

  • these examples are talking about an expression a facial expression or some

  • appearance that is created with the face or with the eyes so in the first example

  • we see she looked surprised in past tense

  • this indicates that with her face something about her face or her eyes

  • showed surprise she created a surprised face with her facial expression in other

  • words so she looked surprised in the second example they look pretty angry

  • present tense they look pretty angry means their

  • facial expression appears angry their what something they are doing with their

  • face or their eyes creates an angry look look as a noun here so too they look

  • pretty angry is their expression appears angry let's go on to some variations of

  • this how can we pair other words with look to create a new meaning first is

  • look into look into this means to investigate here are some examples we

  • need to look into these accusations have you looked into the requirements for

  • your license both of these mean to examine or to

  • investigate something so in the first example sentence we need to look into

  • these accusations means we need to investigate these accusations we need to

  • maybe research we need to search for more information about something so look

  • into kind of contains all of that find more information about something but

  • look into is much shorter and easier to say to look into something it does sound

  • more casual you could replace this with the verb investigate we need to

  • investigate these accusations instead of look into these accusations and

  • - gate sounds more formal than looking - in the second sentence have you looked

  • into the requirements for your license we see the same thing have you

  • investigated the requirements for your license but investigated sounds quite

  • polite quite formal so instead we use have you looked into past tense have you

  • looked into the requirements past tense shows investigation but it doesn't sound

  • so formal as investigate the next variation is look the other way look the

  • other way this means to direct your attention away from something unpleasant

  • here are some examples you can't just look the other way while your boss

  • mistreats the employees in your company we shouldn't look the other way when our

  • fellow humans are in trouble so these example sentences show the use of look

  • the other way meaning to look away from something unpleasant in the first

  • example about a boss mistreating employees in a company it means we can't

  • just turn our attention away from the mistreatment of the employees in the

  • company or we should not do that that's a bad idea

  • we should not direct our attention away from this unpleasant situation if

  • there's a bad situation there we should not ignore that situation in other words

  • we should not look the other way we should not turn our attention away from

  • this bad situation and in the second example sentence we shouldn't look the

  • other way when our fellow humans are in trouble it's a more general statement

  • but if other humans fellow humans other people are in trouble we should not

  • ignore it we should not ignore it we should not turn our attention in another

  • way ok so I hope that this video helped you level up your understanding of the
