Speak, Speaks or Spoke?
Hello Comunity.
I have a question about this sentence:
Never had I seen a young woman speak with such force.

Why is the verb ''speak'' in this form? Thinks, it should be "speaks" or "spoke''.
Help me, pls =)

Answer

You see someone do something so only the infinitive can be used here.

Answer

Here "speak" is infinitive. You could also use the gerund ("speaking"). "speaks" or "spoke" cannot be used here.

Answer

This is a great question.
