Watch out! and Look out! are used when the danger is more immediate. We say these expressions when there is no time to lose. Take care! and Be careful! Usually refer to dangers that are less immediate and suggest that these dangers can either be avoided or are created as a result of one’s own careless actions. 7-3 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 When we say Watch out! or Look out!, the two words are pronounced together as a two-syllable word, with the stress on the final syllable (i.e., Wa-tchout; Loo-kout).
