| Re: run or running Not a teacher. We see sb do sth, it means we see the whole action of sb. We see sb doing sth, it means we only see a part of his/her action. In this situation, I think the second sentence is correct. |

| Re: run or running In this case, there is little difference. Take another example: -- I saw him mowing the lawn. -- I saw him mow the lawn. In the first one, you saw a part of it. In the second one, you saw him from start to finish.
