Grammar Series - Verbs of Perception

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ก.ย. 2024
- In this lesson, we look at the difference between verbs of perception (e.g. hear, see, watch, listen, etc.) that are followed by gerunds (the continuous form) and ones that are followed by infinitives (in this case, base verb form). For instance, we will look at the difference between the following two examples: 'I saw the children play' and 'I saw the children playing'.

Great video! thanks!
You're most welcome!
Dear Andrew, thank you for introducing useful structures and very clear way of teaching! Here are my exercises:
1 - Yesterday I saw the thief break into my house through the chimney but I couldn't scream because I was scared.
2 - I heard the couple arguing and ran to.
Nice job! I would modify your second sentence at the end to '...and ran away'. Well done!
Maple Leaf ESL, I mean, I RUN TO prevent them from fighting .
Run to doesn't make sense in your sentence. It should be 'ran away'.
Thanks ,my dear teacher ! I will definitely remember !
@@mapleleafesl6162 ,can I say
"I heard the couple arguing so I ran away to prevent them from fighting " ?
Thanks in advance ,my dear teacher !
Dear teacher, indeed your lesson was very clear and easy to understand. Thank you so much for making this video.
Thank you, that's very kind.
Lien Ho so share it with your friends 👭
Cool teaching style. 🙏
Cheers!
Abhishek Mishra he is the best
Great lesson as usual,thanks Andrew!
It's always my pleasure, Roman.
excellent Andrew. i watched it and understood it. no more confusion. thank u so much. best teacher ever.
I'm glad these videos are of use, thanks again asad khan.
asad khan I agree! I wish I had more time to watch all those videos again and again
@MegaZemor Yes, likely that is the case.
Thank you for your lesson, it really helped me!!!!!
Really happy to hear that!
Thank you for the lesson! But I still wonder, what is the difference then between "I saw the children play" and "I saw the children played"?
As mentioned around the 7:00 mark, the first one means I saw the whole event whereas the second means I only briefly saw them playing.
@@mapleleafesl6162 Aha, so there's no much difference between 'played' and 'playing' in this case?
Well, 'played' would be incorrect grammar. It's either 'play' or 'playing'.
@@mapleleafesl6162 Oh, it's my bad! I was confused because I saw the last example in your video "I saw the buildings destroyed', but didn't pay attention that it's the past participle, the passive voice.
Sergey Arion Ты подписался? 🤣
Excellent lesson!!
Thanks!
Hi Andrew, your explanations are indeed very clear and easy to understand. Thank you so much for the excellent lesson. You are the best!
Thanks, Lien Ho! I definitely try and make them as clear as possible.
Could you cover up all the part of speech with all the rules and concepts.
Hi Abhishek Mishra, I'm not sure what you mean by 'cover up'. Could you clarify?
@@mapleleafesl6162Sorry, I used a wrong phrasal verb instead I should have said that you should make videos on all parts of speech.
Gotcha. Good idea, thanks.
thankyou so much sir
My pleasure.
Great! Almost 12000 Subscribers ✅👌🏼⭐️
Thank you for your explanations. I like the way you presented the narration. I have no difficulty for those verbs of perception followed by infinitive or gerund but as for the past participle one still confusing me. Isn't that for passive voice situations?
Indeed it is. The sentence 'I heard my named called' is in the passive voice as we don't know who or what the subject is which, in this case, is the person calling my name.
@@mapleleafesl6162 Thank you again for your further explanation.
Огромное спасибо . This video deserves more views:)
Don't forget to share with your friends ;-)

My pleasure! Thanks for watching, hallie rose.
Great 👍🏻
I watched the teacher explain a very interesting lesson :-)
I see what you did there. Well done. And thank you :-)
Eddie Petrucci he is unbelievably great!!!
Hi Andrew, the writings are indistinct, almost invisible. Kindly write them in a way so that they're clear and intelligible to us.....
Thanks!!
Thanks, Minati.
Finally 15000 Subscribers 👍🏻
And counting.
You explained very clearly and effectively, thanks 👍🙏
Excellent!
Hi, you are the best teacher i have ever seen, thank you very much
So nice of you, thanks!
can you please explain about( ain't) ?
@@danielgol4514 Ain't is a colloquial contraction that replaces isn't, aren't or am not. It's only used in slang or casual speaking. For example, he ain't coming to the party OR I ain't happy about this. Notice how in a grammatically correct sentence, you would use 'isn't' in the first sentence above and 'am not' in the second one.
Thank you vey very much, you are wonderful, my brother also told me about you that you are the best teacher , we have our reasons for that , we wish you all the best
Thank you so much!! Your explanation is excellent!!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you sir. If i saw these expressions without knowing their rules i would be extremely confused.
Sir. Is it the same with the verb "find" because with the verb " find" the noun comes before the past participle or the adjective . For example:
I found my office stolen. or
I found Canada beautiful.
Is there a difference between the past participle form and the adjective because i noticed that we always use the past participle as an adjective
Find is not a verb of perception so it is different. In the sentence ' I found Canada beautiful' it just means 'I thought that Canada was beautiful'. I'm releasing a video on 'participial adjectives' soon that will hopefully answer your questions about past and present participles.
Ur teaching was very prefect and easy to understand
Glad to hear that. Thanks!
Awesome video, thanks a lot! :)
Two questions about the last two sentences (as a non-native speaker of English I don't know exactly) :
1) What about: "I heard my name being called twice", when I'm talking about a specific situation in the past when my name was called twice?
2) What about "I saw the buildings being destroyed"? Would that mean I saw people throwing bombs / stones / whatever, so I describe the act of destruction while the sentence you gave us would mean that I saw the result (the destroyed buildings)?
As a non-native speaker of English I am not sure about that.
Thanks in advance, stay healthy! :)
Yes, you are right. 1) It would work in the past, as well. 2) This means I actually watched it happening
This was very helpful and the explain was spot on we need more people like you keep following your dreams and never give up!
Thank you! Will do!
Thanks very much
My pleasure.
I needed a clear explanation and I finally found one
Glad I could help!
Great
hi!!
This really helped me
Great to hear!
Do You know sir, your video made me to write a comment as a compliment about your perception of attraction students, amazing your teaching style and wonderful decipiline of your explanation, amazing, really, I watched your this video,and I'm gonna finish all. Thank you 💖
So nice of you to say so! Thank you for the kind comment.
Nice video
Im confused in this subject. Every time I speak, I always thought about it, should I say ing or infinitive instead?😊
Anyway, Thank you. Somehow, You shared this lesson to us.
Glad it helped. Thanks for watching.
Excuse me, I have a question. Are there any differences between: "I hear the bell ringing" and "I hear the bell is ringing"?
Or both are correct? If they are both correct, in which cases we can use each of them?
Thank you so much!
In your second example, you may not be there person hearing it ring whereas in the first you definitely are. In the second example, you may have heard from someone else that the bell is ringing. Hope this helps.
@@mapleleafesl6162 can I explain it in another way like the word "hear" in the first example is an perceptive verb, and word "hear" in the second example is an action one?
Thank you for sharing us😍😍😍
Thanks for watching!
Teacher,
I saw that sentence
'I filmed my son dancing on the stage.'
to film is also one of verbs of perception?
I would be grateful if you could explain to me.
In this case, you would need the progressive 'dancing' every time. To say, 'I filmed my son dance' would not be correct.
@@mapleleafesl6162That's great teacher. However, I always see some verbs followed by - ing.
For example
see somebody doing sth.
film somebody doing sth.
watch somebody doing sth.
notice somebody doing sth.
.
.
.
And I guess these verbs are related to each other.
I wonder why these verbs are followed by present participles?
I would be grateful if you could explain it to me
Thankssssssss
My pleasure!
Excellent class! But I have a doubt. If I'm watching or I finished watching a video of my friend playing or singing I would say? I watched you singing. Nice video! Very impressive!
Yes, you could. 'I watched you sing' would also work there, too. though.
спасибо
Can you explain pp form of the perception verb a bit more please
Here's a few more examples: I heard the news confirmed; I saw the victim attacked; I saw the play performed live. Hope these examples help. Remember that it's something that has already been completed, not something that is or was in progress.
Best
thank you
You're welcome
thanks, sir
All the best
What grade is that for i am a Teacher i will learn that to my class i am at this school Miami State School i am a Teacher there.
It's not for any specific grade, it's for all ages but I would call most of my online lessons intermediate to upper intermediate.
Good evening, dear Andrew.This candy stripe tie suit you.🇷🇺
Thank you!
I think after verbs of perception comes a present participle not a gerund.
"I saw someone be stupid" is this sentence wrong? can you use "be" after using perception verbs?
Yes, you can. This sentence would be better written as 'I saw someone being/acting stupid.'
This is not visible
Apologies.
Handsome sir 😍
Aww shucks
there's always somethig new, frick
