to look through
phrasal verb
Examine or read something quickly
- 1She looked through the documents before the meeting.
- 2I looked through the magazine while waiting.
When you look through something, you quickly check or read it to find specific information. It's like flipping through a book to find a certain page or quickly scanning a document to see if it's important.
Remember, when you look through something, it's important to focus on the key words or phrases to quickly find the information you need. Don't get caught up in reading every single word!
