FREQUENTLY we hear person

not always a person who has not been

In the language of the grammarlan,
the speaker does not make proper dis

or past, form of the verb "see," and
the past participle of the same word.
The principal parts of "see' are as
follows: Present, see; past, saw" |;
imperfect participle, seeing; perfect
participle, "seen". Therefore, the SEN
tence should have been worded, 81
saw him do IT," not ~ seen him do It,"
We hear person say, II have saw"
or II would have saw" in those cases,
of course, the expressions should be,

since "seen" Is the partlciple to be
