Verwendung und Beispiele mit dem Wort hear im Englischen

Okay, let's break down how to use the word "hear" in English. It's a surprisingly versatile word with a few different meanings and ways to use it. Here's a comprehensive guide:

1. To Perceive Sound (Most Common)

  • Meaning: This is the most common usage. "Hear" means to detect sounds with your ears.
  • Structure: Typically used with a verb (like "to listen," "to understand," or something else).
  • Examples:
    • "I heard a loud noise." (You detected the sound.)
    • "Did you hear her sing?" (You perceived her voice.)
    • "I hear the music playing." (You’re aware of the sound.)
    • "She can't hear very well." (Her hearing ability is impaired.)

2. To Receive Information (Often Passive)

  • Meaning: "Hear" can be used to mean to receive information, often when you're not actively listening. It suggests you’ve been told something.
  • Structure: Often used with a passive construction ("hear...about").
  • Examples:
    • "I heard about your promotion." (Someone told me.)
    • "Have you heard that they're opening a new restaurant?" (Someone told me that.)
    • “I heard he’s been sick.” (Someone told me.)

3. To Listen (Less Common, More Formal)

  • Meaning: “Hear” can act as a verb meaning "to listen attentively." It's less frequent than "listen" and often sounds slightly more formal.
  • Structure: Used alone as a verb.
  • Examples:
    • "Please hear me out." (Listen to what I'm saying.)
    • "I want you to hear my concerns." (I want you to listen to my worries.)

4. “Hear” as an Auxiliary Verb (Less Common)

  • Meaning: “Hear” can be used as an auxiliary (helping) verb to form the present perfect tense with “have” or “had.” This is less common in everyday conversation.
  • Structure: “Have heard” or “Had heard.”
  • Example: “I have heard that he is a talented musician.” (Past event resulting in present knowledge.)

5. Informal Phrases Using "Hear"

  • "Hear from someone": To get news from someone. "I haven't heard from John in weeks."
  • "Hear about...": To hear information about something. "I heard about the accident."

Key Differences: "Hear" vs. "Listen"

This is a very common point of confusion. Here's a quick breakdown:

Feature Hear Listen
Meaning To perceive sound To pay attention to sound
Focus The sound itself The speaker/content
Action Passive (happens to you) Active (you do it)

Example illustrating the difference:

  • "I heard the doorbell ring." (I perceived the sound.)
  • "I listened to the doorbell ring." (I paid attention to the sound.)
