Hi,
There are many words that on the surface seem to have the same meaning but on closer examination, you find this isn’t the case. They often come in twos and ‘look’ and ‘see’ are an example of a difficult pair.

Dear, Alan!
Thank you for your interesting topic and interesting and useful expressoins.
Like this: “Joh and Mary are seeing each other at the moment”.
Would you please explain me the difference between "remember, memorize, to bear in mind and so on).
All the best,
Olga.
Hi Olga,
Let me explain briefly - ‘remember’ simply means ‘not forget’ - ‘memorize’ means ‘learn something so that you can repeat it from memory’ and ‘bear in mind’ suggests ‘consider’ or 'keep in mind when you have to make a decision…
Hope that helps.
Alan
Dear, Alan!

Hi
Thanks for interesting topic and usefull expression
I think look is verb and look is adjective
for example : I see your eyes
thx
Hi,
‘Look’ is verb and a noun but not an adjective:
She looked (verb) at me. She gave him a friendly look (noun).

Dear Yarlini,
I am not Alan but the sentence means that he was a blind man from his birth but he tried so much and he reached a high position in the government.
P.S: I do apologies Alan for answering instead of you.

Hi Alan,
I have one quetion. What deos (It occurs like this) mean?
Have a nice day.
Ali
Hi Fugitif,
This means: It happens this way.
Can you tell me where you found the sentence?
Alan
Hi Alan and everyone !
I haven’t written for months but that doesn’t mean I was not attracted to discuss different issues again.
Alan, provided that one of the paragraphs of your article begins with the collocation “It occurs like this …”, I think Fugitif took it from there.It is one of the last paragraphs :
It occurs like this: The country is experiencing a downturn in the economy and the future looks bad… and so on. Thank you !
