I showed him crossing the road.

Can the word show be used like words see, hear, listen to, etc?


I saw you dancing / I heard them singing.


I showed him crossing the road.


Is the sentence I showed him crossing the road correct to use?


What do you native English speakers think?


Thank you so much as usual!
