How to use Haikensuru: grammar notes
•Use 拝見します instead of 見ます when humbly talking about looking at something (like a document or photo) that belongs to someone of higher status.
•Always use the particle を before 拝見します, because you're "looking at" something (e.g., 書類を拝見します = I will humbly look at the documents).
•Don't use 拝見します to talk about your own photos or things you looked at casually — it's only for respectful situations like business or formal speech.
