Can I say something like this?
Hello, Honourable Teachers!
I have doubts about my sentence. It's quite simple but not for me: "We heard the train passing by". Is this ok? Or I had to put "was passing"?
Many thanks.

Hello and welcome to English Forums. If you heard the sound of the train, then use the sentence you wrote. " This one means that you heard from other people about the train.
