In this video, we're going to look at the differences between see, look watch and read.
All four words are verbs, and all of them involve using our eyes.
See
‘See’ is the most general word.
Its basic meaning is that we notice something or someone by using your eyes.
For example
I see a cat.
Because I notice a cat by my eyes.
So we use see here
Some other examples

He turns the light up so he can see.
Look
look means "to turn your eyes toward something so that you can see it.
And then we pay attention to it.
For example
She is looking at the toys.
She turns her eyes toward the toys and pay attention on them.
So we use look here

Watch
Watch is quite similar to look.
Watch is quite similar to look.
"watch" is "to look at something for a period of time, really looking carefully.
And normally the object is moving or changing.
For example

Because the TV screen moves,we use watch.
I watch Youtube video.

Read
Read is to look at words or symbols and understand what they mean

In short
If you are talking about something that your eyes simply observe, you can use “see.”
If you are directing your eyes at something, use “look.”
And if you are paying attention to something,
like a game or television program, for a period of time use “watch.”
If your are looking at words or symbols and understand them, you use “read”
