[Grammar] 1st (sense verb)....2nd (verb) in simple present or continuous

[Oceanlike]

Greetings, Sir/Mdm

Are the following sentences grammatically correct? If both are correct/incorrect, kindly help me to understand the grammar rule(s) behind them.

1) He SAW (sense verb) her TAKE (base verb) a slice of cake.

2) Amanda SAW her friend STEALING a pair of earrings at the mall.

Thank you!

Both are correct. You could also use "taking" in #1, and "steal" in 2.

Thank you! [STRIKE][/STRIKE] If you want to insert a smiley, please use the :-D icon.

'See' is a verb of perception.

Not a teacher.
