Почему именно так

• После глаголов восприятия (see, hear, feel, notice, watch) возможны две модели:
  object + bare infinitive (V1) — когда говорим о действии как о целом, завершённом факте: see the car go, hear him sing.
  object + -ing — когда подчёркиваем процесс/длительность: notice Maggie taking, see Bob climbing, watch the snowman melting.

• После глаголов желания/ожидания (want, expect, would like) используется конструкция object + to-infinitive: expect Susie to wear, want Ted to work, would like Ian to help.
