Suppose woman is talking to a reporter and this keeping secret happened in the past.can she say something like this?
" I did not want him heard this and still do not want to" or "I did not want him hear this and still do not want to"
I know that sometimes verbs can be used like this,I do not how it's called in grammar.
" I did not see him write" " I did not see him
" I did not want him heard this and still do not want to" or "I did not want him hear this and still do not want to"

I didn't want him TO INFINITIVE.
I didn't want him to hear about it then and I don't want him to know about it now.
