So today I taught about some transitive verbs of perception
such as 'hear, watch, see, look at, feel, notice' etc.
One of my students claimed that she was taught 'smell' can also have
object and objective complement.
I said to the student that it might be possible but I had never come across such examples.
So, is it really possible to use 'smell' as perceptional verbs like the sentence 2 below?
1. I saw her cross the street.
2. I smell her cook dinner.
