    I am sorry for the late response GQueen 🙁 The word “watch” can be followed with a bare infinitive or agent + gerund.

  4. GQueen

    From the previous material, the word ‘watch’is the part of to infinitive that should not be added by anything.

    See –> feel, have, hear, have, watch, see

    But why does question number 5, there are only 2 asnwer?
