We have covered words for looking before. In Episode 28 we covered watch, see and look. However this time we're looking at more nuanced words that you might hear or come across when you're reading such as Glance, Gaze, Glare and Glower.
These words often have an implied meaning about an emotion or a way that we have looked.
See you tomorrow when we'll be looking at phrasal verbs using 'look'.
