| Front | What's the difference between "glance" and "glimpse"? |
|---|---|
| Back | If you "glance at" something or someone, you look at them very quickly and then look away again immediately. If you "glance through" or "at" a newspaper, report, or book, you spend a short time looking at it without reading it very carefully. If you get a "glimpse OF" someone or something, you see them very briefly and not very well. A glimpse of something is a brief experience of it or an idea about it that helps you understand or appreciate it better ("a glimpse into the future"). |
