在see，hear，feel，watch，notice等感官动词后，表示一个正在进行的主动的动作，强调一个过程或一种状态。
In the crowded cafe, I heard a friendly voice saying, “You can share my table.”
He saw a girl wandering on the street this time yesterday.

已经结束了。
Today on my way home, I saw a man running along the street hurriedly.
I saw him enter the room and take something away.

1) have/ get+sb./ sth.+done包括两层意思：
①让别人去做某事。②（主语）遭受到（意外的损失或不幸）。
have +宾语+do sth. 意思是“让某人去干某事”。

=…, and stared at the sky for a long time.
注意：非谓语动词作状语时，如所提供的动词不能和句子中的主语保持一致，动词-ing形式必须有自己的逻辑主语，通常由名词或代词来担任，这就是独立主格结构。
The last bus having gone, we had to walk home.
（having gone的逻辑主语是the last bus，而不是we）
