More ways of

Today is the turn of "LOOK"
To see    To percive with the eyes.  "Seeing" is passive.Light comes into your eye when your eyes are open. Seeing is different from looking because looking is active- you actually try to see something.
"Did you see that car accident on route 12 last night?"

To look  to turn your eyes towards   something so that you can see it. "Looking" is active. We physically make an effort to see something. We usually look quickly and for a shorter period of time. 
"Look at that guy with pink hair!"


To watch

watchWhen we watch something we observe something happening in front of us.
We might watch a movie, watch a performance, or watch an argument.
We don't have to be actively involved in the thing that we are watching.
" Last night we watched the thunderstorm until midnight."

To glare
 
When we "glare" at someone, we are usually showing them that we are angry.
A glare usually lasts for a long time and we often have a frown or a dark look on our face.
A child might glare at his mother when she has punished him.
"The kid glared at his mom when she said that he had to go to his room."

To stare
 to look fixedly at someone or   something. "Stare" is similar to glare, but it isn't necessarily a negative thing.
 " The kids in class stared at the teacher, completely confused."


To glance

  We use this word when we move our head quickly to see something, but we don't focus on that thing for very long.
We might not want people to know that we are looking at something or someone so we "glance" at it, very casually and naturally without making it obvious. "I quickly glanced at the gas prices when I drove by the gas station."

To glimpse    
to see someone or something by chance for a very short time.
I glimpsed a figure at the door of the house.








To wink: to shut one eye briefly as  a signal or to show that something  is a joke. 
She winked at me and I knew she was joking.
