In the sentence, "I watched the log burn", what verb form "burn" in this context?
In further example:
"We saw the bird fly"
"I watched the logs burn"
"They heard him speak"
What is the term given to the forms "fly", "burn" and "speak", since they do not seem to have been conjugated from the subjects in the sentences?
You're right; it's not conjugated and is still in the infinitive form sans the "to" in front. I did some internet hunting and found out that the final verb in the similar sentence "see Jane run" is called an "object complement" or an "adjectival infinitive."
