Hi guys,
This is my first time posting here. As English is my second language, I have many issues trying to understand some grammar rules. I've just recently come across a sentence and am confused about the last verb whether we should use the base form of the verb or the verb+ing.
I like to see her dance on stage.
I like to see her dancing on stage.
1. Which sentence is correct?
2. If both are right, is there a difference in meaning between the two?
I'd also really appreciate it if you could tell me which grammar item I should search for if I want to learn more about the rules for this type of usage. I tried looking under 'catenative verbs' but could not find an explanation for the sentence above.
Thanks for your help.
