hear

[Navi]

Can one say:
1-I heard that he break the vase.
instead of:
2-I heard him break the vase.

Meaning: I heard the sound of his breaking the vase.
I think "1" can only mean: I was told that he broke the vase.

[Dozy]

You are correct, except that #1 should be "I heard that he broke the vase".

Thanks a lot Dozy.
Sorry about the mistake!
I was thinking about both sentences and mixed them up in my mind.

Gratefully.
Navi.
