Good day!
Quote: "A whole summer ahead to cross off the calendar, day by day. Like the goddess Siva in the travel books, he saw his hands jump everywhere, pluck sour apples, peaches, and midnight plums."
What's the meaning of the word "jump" in this case: is it noun or verb? The structure of the sencence suggests "jumping everywhere"/, i think, and "plucking sour apples". Why those members of the sentence applied in the simple tense?
