Benny, please explain the difference between “看一下” “看看” “看到” and “看了” i’ve heard all of them used when someone is telling someone else to look.

Hi Kevin,

1. 看一下 = have a look/ check
我需要看一下我的安排 = I need to check/ have a look at my schedule

2. 看看 = to look/ visit
明天我来看看你 = I’ll come to visit you tomorrow

3. 看了 = past tense of 看
昨天我看了电影 = I saw the movie yesterday

4. 看到 = be able to see
你看到了吗 = Were you able to see it?
