Hello
I have 2 questions , please help
https://www.thefreedictionary.com/object+complement
Please confirm if this article is correct, check examples of infinitive/gerunds used as object complement.
If correct would that mean that in sentence ' i saw him playing, playing is an object complement.
2. Normally when we use verb+ing after a verb ( action or catenative verb ) it represents a gerund eg. I enjoy eating, i wanted to speak(Infinitive) but if we use verb+ing with verb of perception would that be a gerund or progressive verb.
Eg. I saw him playing (gerund or progressive)
Also
I saw him play (is this a gerund)
I hear him sing etc
Also as in question 1 is him an object and playing is its complement,
Thankyou and regards
