Use
Some verbs (including see, watch, hear, listen to,
notice) are followed by an object + a verb in the
bare infinitive, or a verb in the -ing form.
We use the bare infinitive for a complete action:
I saw the tree fall over (from start to finish).
We use the -ing form for an incomplete action:
In this photo, you can see the tree falling over
(only part of the action, not from start to finish).
