you can see lightning
You see lighting and hear thunder.
Thunder and lightning always occur together. However, sometimes it is so far away that you see the lightning but cannot hear the thunder, and sometimes the cloud cover is so thick that you can hear the thunder but cannot see the lightning.
Lightning causes thunder. Lightning is a massive electrical discharge that you see as a bolt or flash of light. Thunder is the sound caused when the lightning superheats the air, creating a shockwave.
"Thunder is noise. Lightning is a bolt of electricity coming down from the sky. You always see lightning before you hear thunder because light travels faster than sound." You can get hit by lightning but not by thunder. Lightning hits the ground but thunder does not.

You see lighting and hear thunder.
You don't see thunder. You hear thunder. You hear thunder after seeing the lightning because light travels faster than sound. The further the storm away is, the bigger the time between when you see the lightning and hear the thunder.
Thunder is always heard after lightning flashes. The sounds from thunder can be heard from miles away, but you can see lightning and NOT hear thunder. Never the other way around.

Thunder and lightning occur roughly at the same time during a thunderstorm, but they are different things. Typically you see the lightning first and then you hear the thunder.
No, thunder reaches the observer after they see lightning.
There is a delay between seeing the lightning and hearing the thunder because the speed of light (lightning) is much faster than the speed of sound (thunder). Thus, you SEE lightning first, and then you HEAR thunder later.
