Can you sneeze with your eyes open? I don't think so. But there are various other actions
-
that you can do with your eyes. So in today's lesson we are gonna look at different English
-
verbs that would help us to describe the actions that our eyes make. So let's have a look.
-
Hey friends I am Niharika and welcome back. Well when we talk about different verbs related
-
to our eyes the very common ones that we use are watch, see and look. Like we see something
-
with our eyes we watch something with our eyes and we look at something with our eyes.
-
But then there are different verbs that you can use instead of using these common ones.
-
So which are these words? Well we have it right here for you I'll help you to understand
-
them and of course how to use them in your conversation. So we will start with the first
-
one which is “gaze”. Have you heard this before? Like gazing at the Stars is the most
-
wonderful thing. Yes! You do gaze at the stars in the night. So gaze actually means to look
-
at something or to look at someone with admiration you know when you find someone who is super
-
gorgeous, very beautiful and you just gaze at that person. Well you are looking at that
-
person with admiration. Okay so the next time you would not say that, “oh he was looking
-
at me” well rather than using the word look you can use the verb “gaze”, okay “he
-
gazed at me all night long” but probably because you are so pretty, okay? Moving on
-
to the second verb that I have which is “peek”. Have you heard this before? Peek-a-boo! Well
-
peek means to have a quick look. Probably a secret look. For example, “could you just
-
peek outside and see if the audience is settled down?” So which means someone wants you
-
to go check or have a quick look to see if the audience is settle down. So peek is to
-
have a quick look, alright? Moving on to the third verb that I have for you is “stare”.
-
Well when do you stare at someone? Well stare is to look at something with wide-open eyes
-
probably you're looking at the person with surprise or you're just giving a blank look
-
at someone. So that's staring. Like how men stare at women, ah, that's absolutely disgusting.
-
But yes so stare means to look at someone or something with wide eyes open it's like
-
a blank look okay? So it's a blank look with wide-open eyes. Moving on to the fourth one
-
is “blink”. Blink, blink… well yes to open your eyes and to shut them. So it's like
-
a quick movement, that's blinking, okay? That's how you blink so that's very simple many times
-
or probably English learners don't know the exact word to use when you open and shut your
-
eyes quickly well that's to blink, okay? That's blinking. So to blink is to open and shut…
-
to open and shut your eyes quickly. Moving on
-
to the next verb that I have for you well that actually rhymes with blink, “wink”.
-
Well when do you wink at someone? So it's just in a very flirtatious manner or in a
-
joking manner like when you crack a joke and you want to express that with your eyes your
-
like, like this okay? So when you just open and shut your eye, just one eye quickly there
-
are people who can try to wink with both their eyes I can't do it I can just do it with my
-
right eye like this so that's winking, okay? So to wink is to open and shut one, one of
-
your eye and when you're joking, you probably crack a joke or probably you're flirting with
-
someone okay in a very flirtatious manner you wink at the girl or the boy, right? Moving
-
on to the next verb that I have for you which is “pop”. Now you don't really pop your
-
eye out, okay? Well the meaning of the word pop is pretty much similar to stare but pop
-
is when you look at someone or something in surprise, when you're astonished to see something
-
and your eyes go wide open okay like this, like you're shocked or you surprised, you're
-
astonished. You your eyes pop, okay? “Why are you popping your eyes, well this is nothing
-
great? Okay so when you actually open your eyes wide open in surprise or in shock. Alright
-
moving on to the next one is “roll”. Well have you seen people rolling their eyes, like
-
their eyeballs? I can't do it well I kind of try to do it but I fail to do it. Well
-
rolling your eyes is basically when you move your eyeballs round in circle okay especially
-
when you're annoyed at someone when you're really angry at someone or someone just said
-
something so stupid or so something so strange that you roll your eyes with anger or with
-
irritation okay like probably when a small kid comes to you and says something really
-
silly and you're like ah okay so you roll your eyes with anger or frustration so that's
-
rolling your eyes. So when you move… so when you move your eyeballs in circle okay
-
you go round the eyeballs go round when you're angry or when you're frustrated, right? And
-
then the last verb that I have for you to describe an action that your eye makes is
-
“ogle”. Now ogle is when a person stares at you with the sexual attraction or sexual
-
desire okay so that's ogle. There's a difference between stare and ogle, stare is when you
-
just look at someone with wide-open eyes but ogle is used when a person is looking at the
-
other person with sexual desire like for example my friend attended a party last night and
-
she told me that there was this guy who ogled at her all night long, okay? So he wasn't
-
really flirting but yes he was looking at her in a very sexual manner, right? So to
-
look, to look with sexual desire is to ogle, okay? So the next time you are talking about
-
someone's eyes, probably you're looking at something or you are seeing or you're watching
-
something well rather than using the old verbs and very, very boring verbs try using these
-
verbs right here. So these are eight different verbs that you can use, so start using them
-
in your conversation and I'll be back with a new lesson soon till then you take care.
