“Horned toads watched the family go by and turned their little pivoting dragon heads”



Q: Why this sentence is not written this way “Horned toads watched the family went by and turned their little pivoting dragon heads”?

It's due to the presence of the verb "to watch", which implies that you don't use the Past Simple. Hope this helps. [Y]
