• Many verbs are followed by a preposition + -ing form.

• The verbs feel, hear, see, notice, overhear and watch can also be followed by an object + the bare infinitive (without to).

• When the verb and the gerund refer to different subjects, we can use an object pronoun or a possessive pronoun to make it clear.
