Hi everyone,

Could you help to ascertain which of the sentences are correct?

1. I saw the accident (happen/happened) right in front of my eyes.

2. I saw the man (jump/jumped) over the fence.

Are these subjunctives?

Thank you.

Based on my understanding of your previous post, I think the answers should be "rush" and "hug".
I extracted the sentence from a passage in an English comprehension exercise, and I just want to verify the correctness of the sentence.

The sentence is not grammatical. Am I correct?

Thank you for helping.
