Hinzugefügt: 2026-05-05

This video explains four common English phrasal verbs containing 'look' that learners often confuse: 'look over' means to examine or review something carefully (e.g., 'Can you look over my report?') or to view something from above (e.g., 'The apartment looks over the park'); 'overlook' means to fail to notice something by accident (e.g., 'I overlooked your email') or to deliberately ignore something (e.g., 'She decided to overlook his rude comment'), and can also refer to a scenic viewpoint; 'look up' means to search for information (e.g., 'Let me look up the address'), indicates improvement (e.g., 'Things are looking up'), or means to visit someone (e.g., 'Look me up when you're in town'); 'look out' serves as a warning (e.g., 'Look out, there's a car!'), means to watch for something (e.g., 'Look out for good deals'), or to take care of someone (e.g., 'I'll look out for you'). The key distinction is that 'look over' involves careful attention, while 'overlook' involves missing or ignoring something.
