See, Look at, and Watch

Do you know the difference between see, look at, and watch?

See is an inactive word. When your eyes are open, you do it without thinking. Example- I see a car near the store.

Look at is an active word. You must want to do it. But it is for a short time. Example- Look at this dress.

Watch is also an active word. You must want to do it but it is for a longer period of time. Example- Let's watch television.
