What's the difference among " stare", "gaze" and "contemplate"?
What's the difference among " stare", "gaze" and "contemplate"? They all have a meaning of "watching", so Is there any example that can help tell the difference? Thanks!

Hello,
To stare usually means to look very intently at something - even without blinking. Often it is negative "That man is staring at me".
To gaze is usually used in a much more positive way. "I gazed at the beautiful painting". "The woman gazed lovingly at her husband"
To contemplate usually implies that there is a thought process involved. For example if you are looking at the text in a book you may say "I was contemplating the words on the page".
I hope that makes sense!
