Saw

Hello,

1. I saw him climbing the tower.

The above sentence can be written as

A. I saw that he was climbing the tower.
B. When I saw , he was climbing the tower.

Are both A & B correct?
  

Top answer

The sentence cannot be written as either of those. The original merely states the observation. 'A' states a realization.

  • 'A' states a realization.
  • 'B' is poor grammar: 'see' needs an object.

Sir,

1. I saw him while he was climbing the tower.

This seems also a reasonable equivalent.

Thanks.
