'See' is an irregular verb meaning to experience with the senses, to perceive, to understand or to discover. This verb is transitive (it takes an object) and intransitive (it does not take an object). As a transitive verb it is used when referring to the action of looking at or visualizing something. For example, one might 'see a movie'. As an intransitive verb it is used when referring to perceiving knowledge, such as 'seeing the light' or 'seeing the truth'.

1. I saw the sunrise this morning.
2. She saw an opportunity and seized it.
3. I need to see a doctor about this rash.
Tips:
When changing the form of the verb for tense, use 'saw' or 'seen' rather than 'sees'. It is also important to note that the phrase 'to see to' does not utilize the verb to see in its traditional sense but instead means 'to take care of'. For example, 'I saw to the chores.'
