[Middle English loken, from Old English lōcian.]Usage Note: When followed by an infinitive, look often means "expect" or "hope," as in The executives look to increase sales once the economy improves or I'm looking to sell my car in July. In our 1997 survey, the Usage Panel was divided almost evenly on this usage, with 52 percent of the Panelists finding it acceptable and 48 percent rejecting it. In 2008, 55 percent rejected it, suggesting that resistance is not eroding, at least not for use in more formal contexts. The usage has an informal flavor and is popular among sports writers: The Spartans are looking to improve their offensive production. The Cubs look to continue their dominance of their division.

look

1. 'look at'

If someone directs their eyes towards something, you say that they look at it.

Lang looked at his watch.She looked at the people around her.

When look has this meaning, it must be followed by at. Don't say, for example, 'Lang looked his watch'.

Be Careful!
Don't confuse look with see or watch.

See see - look at - watch

If you want to say that someone shows a particular feeling when they look at someone or something, use an adverb, not an adjective. For example, you say 'She looked sadly at her husband'. Don't say 'She looked sad at her husband'.

Jack looked uncertainly at Ralph.He looked adoringly at Keiko.2. 'look and see'

If you intend to use your eyes to find out if something is true, you say that you will see or look and see if it is true.

Have a look at your wife's face to see if she's blushing.Now let's look and see whether that's true or not.

Be Careful!
Don't say that you will 'look' if something is true.

You can use see to say that you will find out about something, even if you are not talking about using your eyes. For example, you can say 'I'll see if Li is in her office', and then find out whether Li is in her office by making a phone call there.

I'll just see if he's at home.I'll see if I can borrow a car for the weekend.3. used to mean 'seem'

Look can also be used to mean 'seem' or 'appear'. When you use look like this, you use an adjective after it, not an adverb. For example, you say 'She looked sad'. Don't say 'She looked sadly'.

You look very pale.The place looked a bit dirty.

Be Careful!
You only use look to mean 'seem' when talking about the appearance of something.
