Hi, Ardith Hinton!
I read your message from  19.03.2014 00:20
about Some news from Harry.

  ak>> If "the objective with the Infinitive" is used after the verbs of
  ak>> feelings we don't use "to".

  ak>> Examples:

  ak>> 1. I saw her enter the house. (I saw she had entered the house).

  ak>> 2. We noticed the captain appear on the bridge.

  ak>> 3. They saw the plane fly over the houses.


  AH> Although I'm not sure what you mean by "verbs of feelings", I
  AH> avoided anything which could be interpeted as a linking verb (AKA a
  AH> copula verb) when I was trying *to come up with* some examples...
  AH> which I do intend *to share*. At any rate I agree that the
  AH> infinitive is often used without "to".... :-)

    It is not enough for a teacher to just agree. She ought to invent a
rule.  And in this case the attempt to introduce "the verbs of
feeling" is IMHO laudable. Indeed: to see, to watch, to observe, to
notice, to hear, to feel -- they can be grouped. You perceive things 
using your organs of feeling.

Bye, Ardith!
