Manage and direct people’s work
to be in charge of people and their work, and to make sure they do it correctly
用法パターン：
to supervise [someone]/[something]
よくある間違い：
Learners sometimes say *"supervise to"* as in *"He supervises to the workers"*. The correct pattern is *"supervise [someone]/[something]"*, for example, *"He supervises the workers"*. Another confusion is with *"survey"*; *"survey"* means to ask questions or measure an area, while *"supervise"* means to be in charge of people or work.

Watch people to keep them safe
to watch people closely so they stay safe or follow rules
用法パターン：
to supervise [children]/[people]/[an activity]

類義語
monitor (Suggests ongoing observation, often for safety or rule‑keeping, sometimes using equipment.)
|
watch over (More informal and caring; suggests protection as well as control.)

Oversee a formal process or event
to be officially in charge while an exam, test, research, or other important activity happens, and to make sure the rules are followed
用法パターン：
to supervise [an exam]/[a procedure]/[a process]
よくある間違い：
Learners may use *"control"* instead of *"supervise"*, for example *"control the exam"*. In this context, *"supervise the exam"* or in British English *"invigilate the exam"* is the natural phrase.
類義語
oversee (Common in formal writing for controlling or checking that official procedures are followed.)
|
invigilate (Technical term, mainly British English, used specifically for supervising exams.)
対義語
conduct unsupervised (Describes a process or event taking place without any official person in charge to enforce rules.)
