Unit 67; Part C

galka.jpgStudy the difference in meaning between the two structures:
I saw him do something = he did something (past simple) and I saw this. I saw the complete action from beginning to end:
    He fell off the wall. I saw this. →  I saw him fall off the wall.
    The accident happened. Did you see it?    Did you see the accident happen?


I saw him doing something
= he was doing something (past continuous) and I saw this. I saw him when he was in the middle of doing it. This does not mean that I saw the complete action:
    He was walking along the street.
     I saw this when I drove past in my car.     
I saw him walking alone the street.

Sometimes the difference is not important and you can use either form:

    I've never seen her dance. or I've never seen her dancing.
