易错句子I watched him to swim in the pool.
正确表达I watched him swim in the pool.
watch 接宾语后再接动词时,要用不带 to 的动词原形,即 watch sb do sth,不能像 want/ask sb to do 那样加 to。这里表示'看到某人做某事的全过程',所以用 him swim,去掉 to 才符合 watch 的复合宾语结构。

易错句子Watch out the car!
正确表达Watch out for the car!
watch out 表示'当心、警惕'时是不及物用法,后面要接介词 for 才能带出所提防的对象,即 watch out for sth。直接把 the car 放在 watch out 后面缺少介词,句子不成立。

易错句子Please watch the blackboard, everyone.
正确表达Please look at the blackboard, everyone.
watch 强调持续注视有动态或变化的对象(如 watch TV、watch a game);而静态地看黑板上的文字应用 look at,因为 look 是不及物动词,接对象时需加介词 at。汉语的'看'同时对应 watch 和 look at,容易混用,但此处老师说'看黑板'应为 look at the blackboard。
针对 watch 的“注意/留意”义(精确释义:有意识地看或注意);watch 与 ignore 相对,ignore 表示故意不理会,二者不可互换。
针对 watch 的“照看/照料”义(精确释义:看守、照料);neglect 表示未尽责照管,与 watch 的“注视”义不直接对应,不可互换。
