word order Hello, I have a question about word order when you use a 'double infinitive' construction, but with a verb like 'sehen' with another verb. I know you can say, "Sie sehen mich hier stehen" - They see me standing here. But what happens when you change tense and/or when it's used in a dependent clause? For example, would these sentences be correct: "Ich denke, dass sie mich hier stehen sehen" - I think they see me standing here "Ich denke, dass sie mich hier haben stehen sehen" - I think they've seen me standing here. "Ich denke, dass sie mich hier hätten stehen sehen" - I think they would have seen me standing here. "Ich denke, dass sie mich hier werden stehen sehen" - I think they will see me standing here. Danke, Adam

All examples are correct. The usual word order rules for verb apply to the "dependent infinitive" (or "double infinitive", if you like) as well.

Somewhat off-topic: In reality I would probably not use the verb "denken" to express that I assess things as stated, but the word "schon", which rids us of this tragic rear-end collision of verbs: "Die werden mich hier schon stehen sehen". (schon = approximately "I'm confident that").
