   Hi, Ardith Hinton!   
   I read your message from  19.03.2014 00:20   
   about Some news from Harry.   
      
     ak>> If "the objective with the Infinitive" is used after the verbs of   
     ak>> feelings we don't use "to".   
      
     ak>> Examples:   
      
     ak>> 1. I saw her enter the house. (I saw she had entered the house).   
      
     ak>> 2. We noticed the captain appear on the bridge.   
      
     ak>> 3. They saw the plane fly over the houses.   
      
      
     AH> Although I'm not sure what you mean by "verbs of feelings", I   
     AH> avoided anything which could be interpeted as a linking verb (AKA a   
     AH> copula verb) when I was trying *to come up with* some examples...   
     AH> which I do intend *to share*. At any rate I agree that the   
     AH> infinitive is often used without "to".... :-)   
      
       It is not enough for a teacher to just agree. She ought to invent a   
   rule. ;) And in this case the attempt to introduce "the verbs of   
   feeling" is IMHO laudable. Indeed: to see, to watch, to observe, to   
   notice, to hear, to feel -- they can be grouped. You perceive things    
   using your organs of feeling.   
      
   Bye, Ardith!
