呢句英文用詞究竟有無錯嗎?

MimiCactus

話說囝囝讀緊公文英, 我發現其中一句英文用詞有問題, 叫囝囝問老師.
尋日老師回覆我答道無問題,
佢地是對的.
不如大定評下有無錯.

I (see / read) the TV.


我同囝囝講, 兩個都錯, 應該用 watch.
並叫囝囝問老師, 點知老師打比我話, 佢地幾個老師都覺得係用 “see”,
我解釋比佢地聽, 應該用 “watch”, 佢地話應該用 “see”都無錯.
大家覺得應該用咩字呢?
有無英文好惦既媽媽幫下手呀?

The one and only one correct answer is:

I see the TV.

Note that there isn't a choice for "watch". Even if there is, the "watch" is also not correct as"

Totally agree with what S. Potato said.  I think your son should definitely quit.  Not only a waste of money but to be taught something that's wrong.  Somethings are irreversible.

Watch is definitely the correct word to use. But strictly speaking, all the 3 are wrong. The simple present should not be used here.

I watched TV. (correct)
I will watch TV. (correct)

My understanding:

I see the TV.
我見到那部電視(機).

I am watching TV.
我正在觀看電視(節目).

Should ask the teachers to tell the difference, or else just quit.

I watched TV. (correct)
I will watch TV. (correct)
I am watching TV (correct)
I was watching TV. (correct)

I watch TV. (Incorrect)
I watch TV every day. (correct)

Correct.

You see the TV (set).
You watch the TV (program).

我個人的解釋是, TV前面加了"the", 所以TV應該是指電視機, 而不是電視節目, 所以用see是沒問題

我理解watch, 看，觀看；特別留意、感興趣地看運動著的東西。
如：watch TV
see 看到，看見；強調看的結果，有意或無意地看到，無進行時。

see something(if tv is something) but watch tv!

I wouldn't say that "I see the TV" is absolutely wrong grammatically, but it doesn't mean "I watch the TV".

If the teacher couldn't properly explain the difference between the two, I wouldn't recommend your kid to continue the class.
