Consider the following sentences:
- Have you seen anyone driving off?
- Have you ever seen someone driving a car in the wrong lane?
- Have you ever seen a celebrity walking down the halls of fame?
Why is there the continuous form (ing) in these sentences?
My research concludes that:
- is a present perfect continuous in the sense of lately like Have you seen anyone driving off (lately).
- is wrong because it in present perfect the verb should be in simple present like Have you ever seen anyone drive a car in the wrong lane?
- is wrong as well because the verb should be in simple present as well as in Have you ever seen a celebrity walk down the hall of fame?
Am I being correct or are my findings off the mark?
Any help would be much appreciated.
