see something in someone
recognise someone's hidden ability
To see something in someone is to recognise a good quality or ability that other people may not notice.
Hear it in real life
Why did she give you the opportunity?
She said she saw something in me.
My coach saw something in me and encouraged me to compete.
The mistake everyone makes
Not: My boss saw something on me.
Say: My boss saw something in me.
Use the preposition "in" when you recognise a quality or ability in a person.
