Look
After Vs Look For
To look after; means to take care of or be in
charge of something or someone.
For example: "I often ask my mother to look after the children."
To look for; means to try to find something or someone.
For example: "I am looking for my keys. Have you seen them?"
Look
At Vs Watch
In this context look
is usually followed by the preposition at.
When you look at someone or something you are
interested in the appearance.
Generally we look at things that are static.
For example:
Look at these photos, they're really good.
I went to the art gallery to look at the exhibition of paintings.
I went to the art gallery to look at the exhibition of paintings.
Watch is a verb.
When you watch someone or something you are
interested in what happens.
Generally we watch things that move or change state.
For example:
I watch TV every night.
The security guard watched the shoplifter steal the clock.
The security guard watched the shoplifter steal the clock.
If I say to you "Look at him!" I mean for you to check
out his appearance.
But, if I say to you "Watch him!" I mean it as a warning.
