Hi guys,

Do we need to say "I saw him do this or I saw he do this"?

Hi guys,

Do we need to say "I saw him do this or I saw he do this"?

I saw him do this.

 

[MikeNewYork]

In that construction I would call "him" an indirect object of the verb. That requires an objective case pronoun.

 

[tufguy]

Ok so we say "I saw him do this" and "I saw tom do this".

 

[bhaisahab]

Ok so we say "I saw him do this" and "I saw Tom do this".

Bhai.

 

[tufguy]

So am I right?

 

[bhaisahab]

Yes.

 

[tufguy]

What do you mean by bhai?

 

[Barb_D]

It's his name.

 

[tufguy]

So why he writes his name, and bhai in hindi means brother.

 

[bhaisahab]

So why he writes his name, and bhai in hindi means brother.

I know that bhai in Hindi means brother, I lived in India for a number of years. Bhaisahab is my user name on Using English.

He made his correction in the quote. The system requires that something be posted in the body of the message, so he wrote his name.
