| Hi, Only N1 is correct - it's the construction known as complex object: I saw her dancing etc. Regards |

| Oh, in this case my example is not the best. We heard her unlock the door would be better. |

| Hello Humble, Why are another sentences incorrect? Please explain why. Thank you |

| Sentence 1 is correct for the reason you stated (bare infinitive and/or object complement). Sentence 2 is incorrect unless the object becomes a relative clause: "...you will observe that something appears suddenly..." Sentence 3 is correct because the relative clause is in the future tense. I cannot imagine that any native English speaker will notice any difference in meaning among the three sentences. |

| Thank you so much, mykwyner. So can I omit "that" in your sentence, just like the sentence 2? Quote:
