I saw the side street's sign at an angle and mistook it for the name of the street I was walking along.

I saw a close-up of this object on the poster, but it looks much smaller in the display case.

I would take that enthusiastic recommendation with a pinch of salt: its author only saw a carefully selected demonstration.

My note says I saw no birds by the pond, not that none were there; the limits of my observation should remain visible even when a shorter sentence would sound much more definite.

I would rather spend time with a few works than walk through every room just to say I saw the entire exhibition; I would not, however, present my preference as proof that people who visit differently look less attentively.

As the group moves on, I have only just found a place with a good view of the display case; tell the guide I need a moment rather than assume that no question means I have finished looking, when for most of the time I saw other people's backs.
