    El uso de gerundio o infinitivo no altera sustancialmente el significado del verbo to see. El gerundio indica que solo presenciamos parte de lo ocurrido (I saw him running across the road, le vi cuando cruzaba la carretera) y el infinitivo sugiere que lo vimos todo, desde el principio hasta el final: I saw him cross the road. Le vi cruzar la carretera. Recuerda que, en ambos casos, necesitas un complemento directo (him) y jamás un adjetivo posesivo (his).
