combination of verbs.
I remember vaguely that I learnt in highschool that there are 5 verbs that following verbs should only be in present participle form. The only one I remember is the verb "see" e.g. I saw you walk down the street yesterday afternoon.
What are the 5 verbs and what are the rules?

That rule is of no actual use to you.

Why is it?
add commentFirst, the present participle is the 'ing' ending. So, it would be:
"Yesterday, I saw you walking on the street."
Second, I am not sure that there is any hard rule about this.
It is acceptable to say, for example, both:
I saw you walking yesterday. (participle)
and
I saw you walk across the street. (present simple)
