pay close attention to (something)
To "pay attention to" something means to look or listen to it carefully:
I always paid attention to the teacher When I was in school.
You can also just use "pay attention" by itself:
Hey, pay attention!
The adjective "close" is often used with "pay attention to". It gives the sense of looking or listening even more carefully, searching for details:
You've got to pay really close attention to the road when you're driving.
the (top / bottom) (right / left) corner
When you're describing what's in a photo, in a video, or on a piece of paper or a computer screen, sometimes you need to describe where it is inside of that area. Here's how to describe where something is in an area:
- "in the upper half" or "in the lower half"
- "on the left side" or "on the right side"
- "at the top" or "at the bottom" (also for things that are close to the edges)
- "on the far left" or "on the far right" (this is for things that are very close to the edges)
- "in the corner"
When you need to combine them, tell top/bottom/upper/lower before saying left/right. For example:
It's on the upper right side.
It's in the bottom left corner.
