Grammar help please?

Hi there,

Could you please tell me why the forth one is incorrect?


1) I saw or noticed it written in the contract. (Correct) (A clause)

2) I saw or noticed it done. (Correct) (A clause)

3) I saw or noticed it broken. (Correct) (A clause)

4) I found it written/done/broken..... (Incorrect, need to be two clauses)

5) I found (that) it is written/it is done/it is broken. (Correct, with two clauses)


Does it have a warranty? (General questions)

Has it got a warrany now? (Means now)


Cheers

John Aki Could you please tell me why the forth fourth one is incorrect? The fourth one is grammatically correct, but there is not often a good reason to say things like that. 'broken' and 'locked' might work in a real situation.
