I saw the wood cut in half/two.

[Alice Chu]

Hello.
Could you please tell me if my understanding is correct?

1. hear/see + object + past participle
The past participle here has a passive meaning and works as an object complement.
“Watch, notice, observe, look at, listen to, feel” cannot be used in the pattern above.

Examples:
1) I heard the song sung over and over again.
2) I saw the wood cut in half/two.

Are you an English teacher?

 

[Alice Chu]

Yes, I used to teach English at school, but now I am an English tutor.
My English grammar is not good enough, so I ask you for help.
I have learned a lot from you and I appreciate your help.

If you're not confident enough in your abilities to change your status to "English teacher", I suggest you add a signature line stating that you currently tutor English although you're not a qualified teacher. It will make a big difference to our answers.
