تفاوت hear و listen

Hey friends…

Today I’m here to tell you the difference between “hear” and “listen”…

you know, they’re often confused!

“Hear” is the verb we use to talk about the ability.

It doesn’t actually mean that

we want to hear something…

it’s about sounds coming to our ears!

We may not want to hear it,

but we can…!

Yeah, I was reading a book about….

hey…

be quiet,

I’m studying, but I can hear your voice all the time!

The verb “listen” is often followed by the preposition ‘to’.

We use this verb

when we’re paying attention or focusing on sounds.

are you listening to me?

Now look here:

Oh my God…

It’s too noisy!

I can hear some music!

yeah…

that’s because I’m listening to music!

Now complete these sentences using hear or listen:

I can —— my mom calling me!

She is ——— to a podcast on Zabanshenas app.
