vocab confuse

[kshyaa]

hi_
need your help_

as we know that an english word may have similar meaning to another_
would you please tell me the difference among "see, watch & look";
and also: "say, talk & speak"; "accept & receive"

would you please help me bout the differences of those words and when to use them_

so, in other words, i'd like to know the appropriate word for the appropriate sentence_

[Tukanja]

I see.

Watch out!

Look at you!

Don't say that.

Let me talk to you.

Speak up!

Do you accept me as a partner?

Have you received my letter?

[kshyaa]

hi tukanja.
thx for the examples;

but may i get some explanation please,

since i can't find the difference of
"Do you accept me as a partner?" and "Have you received my letter?"

But let me try_
is it, that " accept " is more appropriate when the object is person;
while " received " is best used when the object is a thing
What do you think?

And which is correct
1. i am talking to you, or
2. i am speaking to you
Why then

Here's another/some other: (shall I use another or some other?)
1. I see him
2. I watch him
3. I am looking at him

"Heard a lot bout those,
help please..

Here's another:
1. I see him
2. I watch him
3. I am looking at him

You watch someone/something deliberately, actively and for some time:
Please be quiet. I am watching this film.
The police are watching that house secretly.
People watch football matches, TV etc.

Look at is also deliberate:
I heard an explosion above me and I immediately looked at the sky.
I looked at the food. It didn't look very good.
I think my boss was angry, the way he looked at me.
After the accident, there was a crowd of people looking at the car.

See is less deliberate, less active:
I was driving fast and a dog ran across the road in front of me. Luckily, I saw it just in time.
I opened the door and looked inside. It was dark and I couldn't see anything.
Have you ever seen a ghost?

and also: "say, talk & speak"

This may help with say (and tell):

hi tukanja.
thx for the examples;

but may i get some explanation please,

since i can't find the difference of
"Do you accept me as a partner?" and "Have you received my letter?"

But let me try_
is it, that " accept " is more appropriate when the object is person;No, for example, Does this machine accept(~match) this new smart card?
His behaving isn't acceptable.etc
while " received " is best used when the object is a thing No, Did you receive(welcome) your guests properly? A receiver is also a thing that receive for example modulated electromagnetic waves.etc
What do you think?

And which is correct
1. i am talking to you, or
2. i am speaking to you
Why then I rather say, I am talking to you.

Here's another/some other: (shall I use another or some other? "Another" I use for one more different example. "Some other" I use for two or more other examples, "some other examples". Also one another is equall to each other but usually I use each other for two persons that are for example friends and one another if they are almost not known one to another)
1. I see him In my first answer "I see" meant "I understand". Here I would rather say I've seen him if i got it properly what had you meant to say.
2. I watch him Don't watch him. Don't pay attention to him. You needn't have paid any attention to him, there is really no need for you to be on any alert
3. I am looking at him Why? Do you like his new cuffs at the sleeves of his new shirt he has worn for the first time today?
"Heard a lot bout those,
help please..

I wonder did I get you properly and have I answered correctly that I am now looking forward to hearing from a teacher as well.

Hi Tukanja, if u wrote
Receive (welcome), what about this sentence: (shall i put 'what about' or 'how about'?)
i received an email from you few days ago

And which is correct
1. i am talking to you, or
2. i am speaking to you
Why then I rather say, I am talking to you.

Here's another/some other: (shall I use another or some other? "Another" I use for one more different example. "Some other" I use for two or more other examples, "some other examples".

All right you've received (got) an E-mail from me a few days ago.
What about that?

How about to leave it as it is?

[kshyaa]

so, receive can be meant as "to welcome" or "to get"?

[Tukanja]

either
