past

Hi guys,

Please check these sentenves.

1) She felt something touch her on the shoulder.

2) She felt something touched her on the shoulder.

3) Did you notice anyone go out.

4) Did you notice anyone went out.

5) I watched match.

6) I saw match.

Which of these sentences are correct and what is the difference in the meaning.

Not a teacher

i) The first one seems like it's happening at that exact moment, while the second one almost seems like an afterthought.
ii) The first one seems like it'd happen sooner than the second one. Same with the first couple's scenarios, one seems like resent tense the second is past tense.
iii) Present/past.

They're all correct per say, it just depends on the tense you use them in. Hope I helped!

Only 1, 3 and possibly 2 are correct.
2 is correct if you mean, "She felt [that] something touched her on the shoulder.

I am not a teacher.

1) is right and 3) would be right with a question mark.

2) and 4) are wrong.

5) and 6) would work with an article.

Are you sure you're a native speaker?

You didn't notice an obvious mistake "the match" and you said "did you notice anyone went out" is correct.

Faizaak, please state that you are not a teacher when attempting to answer questions, in accordance with the forum rules.

ok so the 3rd srntence is acceptable but with that "She felt that something touched her shouldr" , can 4th sentence be used with "whether", like "Did you notice whether anyone went out or not"(and you are also saying 4th sentence is totally incorrect), and you guys didn't tell the difference between 5th and 6th sentence.

Please explain what is the difference between "see and watch".
