Men wounded
Are these sentences correct:
1-We saw men wounded.
2-We saw men wounded in front of us.
3-In front of use we saw men wounded.
I think these sentences could all have two meanings.
a-We saw men get wounded.
b-We saw wounded men.
But 1, 2 and 3 would have meaning 'b' only in a poetic context.
Is that analysis correct?
Gratefully,
Navi.

navitasan ut 1, 2 and 3 would have meaning 'b' only in a poetic context. Not even in poetry would they be read as B unless there were more context: 3 - In front of us we saw men wounded in yesterday's battle.
