How to use "seen" in a sentence

At eight-thirty, he asked, 'Has anyone seen Aron?'

Do you know where he went? No one here has seen him since last Wednesday.'

'I think I've seen a truck like that,' Glen replied

I understand a proposed amendment to the Constitution - which amendment, however, I have not seen - has passed Congress, to the effect that the Federal Government shall never interfere with the domestic institutions of the States, including that of persons held to service

That is why our constitutional system has proved itself the most superbly enduring political mechanism the modern world has ever seen.

I too, have seen exciting things in my thirty years of work.

He had seen her for the last time on September 25th

Finally, we can exclude the man with the bottle of beer who was seen with Mary at 11.45 p.m

Was it because Mrs Lewis's testimony appeared in the newspapers only after the inquest? When he read the report, he realised that she had seen him opposite Miller's Court

The townspeople, who had never seen him before, watched with interest as he stopped for water at a fountain

He had never before seen such peace, such kindness, such trust.

'Have you seen a boy go by?' he asked.

Madeleine, and was sure that he had seen him somewhere before, many years earlier

And now I've just seen her spit at you, the mayor of our town

But before she could deliver the blow the old man, who had seen everything, interrupted her.

To avoid being seen, he never went out during the day

Although he had only seen the beggar's face for a second, it had seemed strangely familiar.

Enjolras had often seen the couple, too.

Marius rose to his feet, sure that he had seen the girl somewhere before.

He had heard them and seen them, but had paid them no attention, and he suddenly felt guilty.

'Why should I? I've never seen her'

She remembered the handsome young man she had seen so often in the Luxembourg Gardens

He was unhappy about many things - about losing his teeth, about the political situation but, most of all, about the fact that he had not seen his grandson for four years, since their big quarrel

The poor condition of his clothes could not be seen in the half-darkness of the room

Marius, who had thrown away his guns and was now without a weapon, began to move towards a barrel of gunpowder he had seen near the door of the wine shop

He could not believe that this was the same man he had seen at the barricade all those months ago - it seemed like a bad dream to him.

Once upon a time there lived in a certain village a little country girl, the prettiest creature who was ever seen

Just routine? Maybe it is, and the shirt is in his bag, at the bottom where it cannot be seen

She'd turned around quickly and seen a boy: about her age but a little taller, with black hair and dark, smiling eyes..

She'd never seen anything like it before.

Sala had never seen anything from beyond the city

Sala had seen it before, of course, from a distance - but she'd never been so close to it.

Then a face she had seen before

If only she'd seen that woman again...

"Sala! You look like you've seen a ghost!" said Mom

"But it's exciting, isn't it? I've only seen her once more

Sala rushed into the room that she had seen on her previous visit

Of course, they would have seen that Cham had changed! And they'd permit him to leave the pod at once if they thought it was damaging him.

Someone has seen us together

I had not seen Maxim all day

I could not tell Frith that I had never seen the morning-room

They were the same flowers we had seen in the drive

I had seen that tall sloping writing before

'I wondered if you had seen the menus for the day

'I haven't seen much of it yet,' I said

I haven't seen the gardens, but I'm sure I shall never get tired of them

I had never seen it before and I hoped the visitor did not want to stay to tea.

I have never seen anyone more surprised.

The room, a bedroom, was the most beautiful I had ever seen

Yes, I was standing at the window where I had seen Mrs Danvers and Favell.

His car was seen here yesterday

I had never seen the old house looking so lovely.

'Have you seen Mr de Winter anywhere?'

I haven't seen him,' Frank said

'Have you seen Maxim?' I asked Frank.

Manderley was a place of safety and looked more beautiful than I had ever seen it

'The diver has seen the body

I wondered whether Maxim had seen him.

Someone had seen it all happen - someone who was often down there in the bay - Ben.

'You've seen me in the cottage, haven't you?'

'I've never seen him,' he said

After all, she'd never seen Danny's corpse

That was possible, wasn't it? She had seen similar stories in the movies

This boy in the station wagon was not the first that she had imagined was Danny; in recent weeks, she had seen her lost son in other cars, in schoolyards past which she had been driving, on public streets, in a movie theater.

The Lido was one of those incredibly lavish productions that could be seen nowhere in the world but Vegas, for it was only in Las Vegas that a multimillion-dollar show could be staged year after year with little concern for profit; such vast sums were spent on the elaborate sets and costumes, and on the enormous cast and crew, that the hotel was usually happy if the production merely broke even from ticket and drink sales

He had seen Tina's work in some lounges around town, and he had surprised her when he'd offered her the chance to co-produce Magyck! At first, she hadn't been sure if she should take the job

Vivienne blinked in amazement, unable to understand what she had seen

There were five photographs in addition to the one that had dropped onto the sofa; two were responsible for the noises that had drawn her into the living room, and the other three were those that she had seen popping off the picture hooks

Magyck! Was the most entertaining Vegas show that Elliot Stryker had ever seen.

He was interested primarily in learning more about the mind that could create a work like Magyck! He had seen less than one-fourth of the program, yet he knew it was a hit - and far superior to others of its kind

Vivienne had no logical explanation for what had happened, but she knew one thing for sure: She wasn't going to tell anyone what she had seen here tonight

She hadn't seen the inside of a confessional in ages

That was why he'd smiled when he'd seen her at his blackjack table

If I'd seen the body, then I'd have known for sure

Because the mother hadn't seen the body in the funeral home, she just couldn't bring herself to believe her daughter was really dead

Owen West and I opened for business in a cheap storefront office twelve years ago, right at the start of the biggest boom this town has ever seen

Now, for the judge's benefit, and to explain why an exhumation had suddenly become such a vital matter, Elliot exaggerated the anguish and confusion that Tina had undergone as a direct consequence of never having seen the body of her child.

She must have seen this lurid cover illustration when Danny had first brought the magazine into the house

She had never seen this drawing before

And even if she had seen the color illustration before, she knew damned well that she hadn't read the story - The Boy Who Was Not Dead

"Then you must have seen the magazine before and you just-"

Elliot drove behind the restaurant and tucked the Mercedes into a slot in the deepest shadows, between a Toyota Celica and a small motor home, where it could not be seen from the street.

If they hadn't seen their kids' bodies, they might have just gone through a year of doubt like you did, might be easily persuaded to join us in a call for the reopening of all the graves

Chilled, Tina said, "But how much could the kids have seen? You're the one who said security was easy to maintain when one of these installations is located in the wilderness

If they had seen something, they'd have come back with at least a dozen different stories about it, none of them accurate

But a bunch of hard-nosed security men might not have seen it that way."

No one could have seen the murder

Then you can follow him without being seen, at your leisure."

When they had landed, they'd been alert for unusual activity on the runway and in the private-craft docking yard - suspicious vehicles, an unusual number of ground crewmen - but they had seen nothing out of the ordinary

But she sensed that he'd seen something important, and she wouldn't go easily until she knew what it was

Crouching low, trying to make as small a target of himself as possible, Elliot ran to where he had seen the snow move

They hadn't seen a house or other structure for two miles

"The brain doesn't all of a sudden start growing new little nodes that nobody's ever seen before."

"He's never seen us or the Explorer, and this isn't the sort of place where there's a lot of new or unexpected traffic."

She couldn't pinpoint what else about his eyes made him so different from any eyes she had ever seen, but as she met Danny's gaze, a shiver passed through her, and she felt a profound and terrible pity for him.

Minutes ago, when Tina had first peered through the observation window, when she had seen the frighteningly thin child, she had told herself that she would not cry

It was the brown velvet cloth I had seen on a table in my brother's laboratory.

'Because I have again seen the fly that Mama was looking for.'

There was no fly to be seen anywhere.

At dinner time that evening I had still not seen Andre, so I ran down to the laboratory and knocked at the door

If you don't wish to be seen, I'll make you a mask until you get well again

She also had the most unusual eyes I have ever seen - for they were almost golden, too

She had seen Anne Protheroe just after the Inspector had told her the news.

'If you had seen his face last night...' I began.

'Have you seen my hat here - a little yellow one?' said Lettice

His eyes were looking at the note in my hand and I have never seen such pain in any human being's face.

As we walked over to Old Hall, I told Melchett and Haydock how I had seen Redding and Mrs Protheroe kissing in the studio

It was a lady the servant had not seen before and she had asked for Colonel Protheroe, not Mrs Protheroe.

'I have never seen one.'

I would have seen it if he had.'

You know the word because you've seen it so often before

'So if anyone said that they'd seen you out and about then...'

There was a pause before she said, 'I had not seen him for several years.'

'Well, if there was anything to be seen yesterday evening, Miss Marple saw it

But Miss Marple was sure she had seen nobody in the road when he and Anne were in the studio.

Mrs Protheroe said that she had last seen her husband at about a quarter to six when they parted in the village street

But later she had realized that if her husband had been sitting at the desk, she would not have seen him.

She had seen it in Mr Redding's sitting room

The last time she had seen it was on the day of the murder at lunchtime when she left.

'I feel that someone might have seen or heard something, and I wondered if you could help me?'

"Well," I said, "There was no hat here when I cleaned the room on Thursday morning." And she said, "But I don't expect you would have seen it

It was a blue earring, and I remembered exactly where I had last seen it.

She was seen walking into the woods, and that path goes only to Old Hall, and to this barrow.'

Your wife has been seen coming out of Mr Redding's cottage in a secretive manner

'In fact she was seen

It said that Griselda had been seen leaving Lawrence Redding's cottage at twenty past six on the day of the murder

For the next ten minutes, they were careful to be seen by people in the village, then at last Mr Redding went back to the vicarage

'Suppose Dr Haydock mentioned that Mrs Sadler had seen him changing the pills in Mr Hawes' box - well, if Mr Redding is innocent, that would mean nothing to him

Lawrence Redding was not an innocent man, and so the news that Mrs Sadler had seen him change Mr Hawes' pills did indeed make him do 'something stupid'.

During 1894, a great light was seen on the surface of the planet by a number of astronomers

I remember how I sat there in the blackness, not suspecting the meaning of the tiny light I had seen and all the trouble that it would cause me

Only a few nights later, the first falling star was seen towards the east

If I had looked up I would have seen the strangest thing that ever fell to Earth from space, but I did not

But poor Ogilvy had seen it fall and so he got up very early with the idea of finding it

An enormous hole had been made and the Earth had been thrown violently in every direction, forming piles that could be seen two kilometres away.

When Ogilvy told him all he had seen, Henderson dropped his spade, put on his jacket and came out into the road

I tried but could not tell them what I had seen

I went into the dining-room, sat down, and told her the things that I had seen.

None had seen them, so they asked me many questions

After the lightning had begun, it flashed again and again, as quickly as I have ever seen

Then there was a great flash like daylight and this strange object could be seen clearly.

If I had really understood the meaning of all the things I had seen, I would have gone back to join my wife in Leatherhead immediately

'You are the first people I've seen coming this way this morning,' the officer said

But none of them were written by anyone who had actually seen a Martian

Five of the machines had been seen moving towards the Thames and one, by a lucky chance, had been destroyed

All down Wellington Street people could be seen reading the paper

Sunday clothes could be seen inside quickly fixing maps of Surrey to the shop window.

The shells exploded all round it and it was seen to move forwards a few steps, and go down

By about nine it had finished, and the machine was seen to move again.

These continued for a quarter of an hour, firing blindly at Martians too far away to be seen

Wherever there was a possibility of guns being hidden, they fired a cylinder of Black Smoke at them, and where the guns could be seen they used the Heat-Ray.

The men and horses near it were seen running, screaming, falling down

My brother, who had seen the situation at the stations in London, thought that was hopeless

At about one o'clock in the afternoon, the thin remains of a cloud of Black Smoke was seen coming through London's Blackfriars Bridge

These were mainly people from the northern suburbs who had only heard of, but not seen, the Black Smoke.

It was the first Martian that my brother had seen, and he stood, more amazed than frightened, as it moved steadily towards the ships, walking further and further into the water

Then, far away, another appeared, stepping over some small trees, and then another could be seen even further away, crossing the flat mud that lay between the sea and the sky.

Nothing could be seen clearly

As soon as the curate caught up with me, we saw either the fighting-machine we had seen before or another one, far away across the fields

People who have never seen these things can hardly understand how alive they looked.

I had seen the Martians themselves once before, but only for a short time, and then the sight had almost made me sick

But no human being saw as much of them as I did and lived to tell the story, and I can say that I have seen four, five or six of them slowly performing the most difficult work without sound or any other signal

Down on the left a busy little digging-machine could be seen, sending out small clouds of green smoke and working its way round the pit, making it bigger and piling the earth up over the top

At a later date we began to feel less in danger of being seen because the sunlight outside was very bright, but at first anything approaching the house drove us back into the hall in fear

In our desire to watch, we even fought each other within a few centimeters of being seen.

The Martians at the bottom of the pit could no longer be seen, because the earth around it was now so high

Had the Martian seen me? What was it doing now?

When I had last seen this part of Sheen, it had been a street of comfortable white and red houses

'Have you seen any Martians?' I asked

These green stars - I've seen none for five or six days, but I've no doubt they're falling somewhere every night

They just used to rush off to work - I've seen hundreds of them, with a bit of breakfast in their hand, running to catch their train, frightened they'd be sacked if they didn't

No Martians could be seen

Wondering about all that I had seen, I moved on towards Primrose Hill

Only the tops of the great engines, so unearthly in their shape, could be seen in the morning light

I turned and looked down the slope of the hill at those two other Martians that I had seen the previous night

The line on the London side of Woking station was still being repaired, so I got off the train at Byfleet and took the road to Maybury, past the place where I had seen the Martian fighting- machine in the thunderstorm

I go to London and see the busy crowds in Fleet Street and the Strand, and it comes to my mind that they are just the ghosts of the past, walking the streets that I have seen silent and empty, spirits in a dead city

I have seen his death certificate

'Have you ever seen a photograph of her first husband?'

Have you ever seen it?'

Harris laughed and said, 'George! Work! Have you ever seen George work?'

Have you ever seen Harris awake, except at meal times?' George asked me.

A car like the ones she has seen in films, with tyres that can do everything..

He has seen things happen along these beaches

Mercy has not been seen for many days

The carriage stopped and the driver spoke to the policeman: 'Have you seen a woman dressed in white?'

She was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen, and yet there seemed to be something missing - I did not know what.

I was seen with you yesterday by a fat old man

Before I married him, I had worked for Major Donthorne of Varneck Hall, and I had seen how rich ladies lived

'I've never seen him before.'

The 20th century and the first part of the 21st century have seen big steps for women in politics
