see/watch

Hi,

Do you 'see' or 'watch' a movie?

Thanks.

I'd rather watch movie.

Both can be used.

"Do you want to go and see a movie on Friday night?" is fine. Interestingly, when talking about the television, you watch rather than see.

You wouldn't say, "I'm seeing the TV" but you would say, "I'm watching the TV".

Ben.

Either but you wouldn't "look at" one.

Yeah Jim, you can look at a movie when you're in the store trying to pick a good movie to watch

Ben,
I'd say "I'm watching TV" without "the". Where are you from?

I use "to see a movie" when I see it in the theater and "to watch a movie" when I watch it at home.

Yeh, I too would say, "I'm watching TV". That would be used more, but I was just showing which of the two was correct in the vaguest sense. Maybe I should have been clearer. I'm from London, UK.

Ben.

Oops, That was me above.

Ben.

Would you say "keep it in the frige" or "keep it in frige"? I'm constantly indecisive when it comes to the use of 'the'.

You "keep it in the fridge".

abc, you're right but it means a different thing as you point out.
