The verb "to see" is an irregular verb. (past simple and past participle forms of the verb do not end in ed)

The past simple form of the verb is saw (used when we want to talk about something that started in the past and also finished in the past.) For example:

I saw a Ferrari yesterday, or, yesterday, I saw a Ferrari. (Ask the question when did you see the car?) Answer yeste

HI: I have a daughter-in-law who insists that you use "I seen" when speaking. I was an English Major and have tried to tell her that "I seen" is wrong unless you say "I have seen". I would like a final opinion about this to show her.

Thank you.
