Explanation
The eye is the part of the body used for seeing. Humans and animals have eyes that let them see light, colour, shapes, and movement. People also use the word “eye” in expressions, like “keep an eye on something”, which means to watch or pay attention. The eye can also describe attention, observation, or a small opening, like the eye of a needle. They can also show emotions, like happiness or sadness; for example, “The child’s eyes were filled with joy”. As a verb, “eye” means to look at something carefully; for example, “The children eyed the tasty dishes on the table”.
