Hello,
Can anyone help me finguring out which sentence sounds more natural?
[FONT=Verdana,Arial,Tahoma,Calibri,Geneva,sans-serif]1. Are you sure you saw him take my keys?
2. Are you sure you saw him taking my keys?

1 is an extract from answer to some question I found on the internet, and 2 is the one that I made up.
I think I've heard 2 alot in daily conversation, so I'm wondering if it's an expression that is only tolerated in speech or it is just a way of emphasizing the action itself.
Thanks=)
