The most common use for this word is for the use of one's eyes when examining the world, but there are some other interesting ways to use the word "see." It's always used as a verb:

• Let's go see a movie tonight. (When you "see" a movie, you leave your house and go to a movie theater.)
• Can you see the road with all this snow?
• He's been seeing Rachel for almost two years. (To see someone often means to date or be in a relationship.)
• She doesn't want to see him any more. (She wants to end the relationship.)
• You should see a doctor if your stomach still hurts. (The word "see" is often used in place of "visit" for the doctor or the dentist.)
• Martha's kids haven't seen a dentist in over two years.
• Do you see what I mean. (see = understand)
