SYNONYMS FOR LOOK (1): meaning and examples
Good morning!
For the rest of the week we will answer another Daily Vitamin request / question from a reader. Isabel writes...
Buenas tardes. Creo que sería interesante que hicierais unas "Vitamins" con las diferentes formas de decir "mirar" en inglés: look, stare, etc. Muchas gracias.
Translation: Good afternoon. I think it would be interesting if you did some "Vitamins" with the different ways of saying "mirar" in English: look, stare, etc. Thank you very much.
Sure, Isabel! That is a great topic, and a big one, as there are several verbal expressions that are synonymous with the word LOOK. We'll study two synonyms each day this week.
Today's first verb is: to stare at
It means: to look at someone or something for a long time.
Example 1:
Woman: Bobby! Stop staring at that man. It's rude!
Bobby: Sorry, mom, but I can't help it. He's wearing a funny hat!
Today's second verb is: to glare at
It means: to look at someone or something in an angry way.
Example 2:
Eli: It looks like Tom is obviously angry. Do you see how he's glaring at us?
Donald: It's because we didn't accept his proposal during the meeting. Don't worry, he'll get over it.
We'll continue with this topic tomorrow. Until then, have a great day!
