Monitor going logs on the screen

Is there a linux command which I can use to monitor a log file? For example there is a command top and when I execute it I can see the recent changes of CPU usage, Memory usage and so on. Is there some similar command to use to watch the changes of some log file?

I can use tail -500 myFile.log, but every time I have to execute it to see the recent changes.

Use

tail -f myFile.log

I need to supply more text, but I don't really know what else to write, so I'm just typing random garbage here.
