- Detectives observe things and actions that may be clues to solving a case.
- Doctors observe the health and welfare of their patients. When they discover ill health they observe the signs, symptoms and clinical information gathered to determine the reason for the ill health.
- I have observed that women like to emote whereas men do not "like" revealing their emotions but they often do anyway.
- The witness observed a man acting strangely around the small market. She stayed to watch him and wrote down a description of him. She saw all the places he put his hand upon so the police could get fingerprints. The man pulled a gun from his pocket and entered the store. She called 911 to tell the dispatcher there was a robbery in progress and gave the descriptions she observed.
