Hi berione81

You can make your sentences passive this way:

I saw him shout. => He was seen shouting.

I saw the accident happen. => The accident was seen happening.

I saw him waiting. => He was seen waiting.

However, making your sentences passive as above means that you lose the sense of "I". If it's important to keep the sense of "I" in the sentences (normally using "by me" at the end), then these sentences should not be changed to passive at all, in my opinion.

Amy
