🚩 We often use see/ hear + object + verb in the infinitive. This means you saw or heard the whole action.
I saw a man hit his dog really aggressively.
I think I heard the alarm go off.
🚩 We can also use see / hear + object + gerund. In this case the meaning is slightly different, meaning you saw / heard an action in progress or a repeated action.

🚩 The distinction above also applies to verbs after watch, feel, notice, and listen.
