Hi there.
I have a question regarding the following sentence:
While setting at my computer, I heard the fire alarm go off.
I sometimes say “While setting at my computer, I heard the fire alarm went off” which seems to be grammatically wrong.
Why, in the second part of the sentence, we use “go off” and not “went off”?
I mean, “heard” is already written in the past but this is not the case for “go off”
I would like to know the grammar rule behind it.
Thanks for your attention.
