Hello, teachers!

Can we omit "get" here? If so, which is natural, with or w/o?
- I don't want to see her (get) mad.

Thank you very much.
Peace!

I think that the 'get' form is less formal, Jandi. Of course, 'get' also indicates the process; if you omit it, the remaining phrase, 'see her mad', indicates the condition ('in an angry state').
