  • I heard a strange noise – involuntary; you have no control over what you hear
  • I was hearing a sound ­ We don’t use hear in the continuous form
  • I’ve heard of that film – You have some information about it
  • I listen to classical music when I’m working – Your choice; you control what you listen to
Fill the gaps with the correct forms of hear and listen.
​
1 Have you .................................. about the floods down south?
2 A: Are you .................................. to me?
B: No.
3 Listen! I can .................................. something.
