Hi, Saskia for BBC Learning English here. And today I’m going to tell you about how we use verbs of perception in English.
There are a number of these verbs, but I’m just going to look at two with you now: see and hear.
When we use these verbs, this is the form: first, the verb of perception; then, the object of the sentence; then, we have either the infinitive without to or the -ing form. Here’s an example: ‘I heard him go down the stairs’ or ‘I heard him going down the stairs’.
There’s a slight difference between these two forms. When we use the infinitive, it suggests that we hear or see the whole action or event. Using the -ing form suggests that we hear or see something in progress.
‘I saw her cross the street’ means I saw her cross from one side to the other. ‘I saw her crossing the street’ means I saw her in the middle, on the way across.
用法總結
1. 句式結構
1) 感官動詞 + 受詞 + 動詞原形
- I heard him go down the stairs.
2) 感官動詞 + 受詞 + 動詞-ing
- I heard him going down the stairs.
2. 用法區別
1) 感官動詞 + 動詞原形
感官動詞後接動詞原形，表示 「看到或聽到整個過程或事件」，強調動作的完整性。
- I heard him go down the stairs.
- I saw her cross the street.
2) 感官動詞 + 動詞-ing
感官動詞後接動詞-ing，表示 「看到或聽到進行中的動作」，強調動作的連續性。
- I heard him going down the stairs
- I saw her crossing the street.
