Questions about “see”

What is the V1, V2 and V3 of “see”?

V1 (base form) is see, V2 (past simple) is saw, and V3 (past participle) is seen. The -ing form is seeing and the he / she / it form is sees.

Is “see” a regular or an irregular verb?

It is recorded as a irregular verb in this table. Its V2 form is saw, not seeed — that is why it is grouped as irregular. The portal rates it easy.

When do I use V3 instead of V2?

V2 stands alone in the past simple — Saw at six. V3 is never used on its own: it follows has / have / had in the perfect tenses, and am / is / are / was / were in the passive voice.

What does “see” mean in Hindi?

It means देखना.

Is “see” useful for IELTS?

Yes — it is flagged IELTS-relevant on the portal, which means it shows up often in reading and writing tasks. Knowing all five forms matters because IELTS uses the perfect tense and the passive voice heavily.
