Some quick notes on the usage of ver<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\nTo see \/ to be able to see<\/h3>\nIn many cases where we would use the word can <\/em>in English, the equivalent is omitted in Spanish. This is generally when the ability is inherent, such as the five senses. So, if you are at the back of the crowd at a concert in Spanish, and you can\u2019t see the stage, it\u2019s quicker, more efficient, and much more common to say, \u201cno veo, no veo.\u201d<\/p>\nTo see vs. to watch vs. to view<\/h3>\nThe verb ver<\/em> means see<\/em>, view<\/em> and watch<\/em>, all at the same time, so its application is much wider in Spanish than any of the English translations. Be careful with mirar<\/em> though. Some learners confuse these two words and use mirar<\/em> when it should be ver.<\/em> A common mistake is using mirar<\/em> for watching TV, movies, etc., when in fact, it should always be ver<\/em> for those cases.<\/p>\n
