Saw or Seen???

Question

When should you use each word?

Answer 1

I saw it. I have seen it. Use "seen" when there is a "helping" word such as "have" or "has".

This link should help you. Best of luck with it.

Answer 2

I plan on going up on the roof to see the sunset tonight.

I saw the sunset last night, too.

Several of my friends HAD SEEN it, as well.

Whenever you're not sure which tense of a word should be used, just say each of them in a sentence (out loud), and you should be able to hear which one sounds right.

Answer 3

saw is past tense - I saw you yesterday.

You use seen w/ the word has or have - I have seen you before./ She has seen you before.

Answer 4

To be correct, 'seen' is ALWAYS paired with a "have" or "be" verb in some way: usually "have/had" or the "to be" verbs (was, were, etc.). Also, 'seen' is ALWAYS past tense plural. 'Seen' is never alone with a pronoun.'Saw' on the other hand, can be alone with a pronoun or individual name. Hope this helps!

Answer 5

You "saw" it. You have "seen" it. You never say you "seen" it or you have "saw" it. THat would just sound weird.

Answer 6

you say the word seen after the word "have"- exa: i have seen that movie. use the word saw without the word "have". i saw that movie. (pardon my typing)

Answer 7

i saw the piece of wood that my boss asked me to saw in half, and have never seen it since.

Answer 8

When you use 'have' or 'has' before it, you use 'seen'.
e.g. I have seen the light.
He has seen his friend.
You have seen them all.
We have seen the rabbits.

Otherwise, you use 'saw'.
e.g. I saw the light.
He saw his friend.
You saw them all.
We saw the rabbits.

Answer 9

example here : i have already "seen" that movie

i already "saw" that movie

i "saw" your dog

i have "seen" your dog

in most phrazes seen is past and saw is present hope this helps ya
