Look at When we look at something, we direct our eyes in its direction and pay attention to it:

Look at the rabbit!

See See means noticing something using our eyes. The past simple form is saw and the -ed form is seen:

I saw Trevor at the shopping centre yesterday.

Watch Watch is similar to look at, but it usually means that we look at something for a period of time, especially something that is changing or moving:

We watch television every evening.

Stare To look for a long time with the eyes wide open, especially when surprised, frightened, or thinking:

She stared out the window.
