So he could use his words in the way he wants, and ignore some grammar. We could name it a creative writing. @Martin | |

| Jul 30, 2017 at 19:17 | comment | added | Bavyan Yaldo | Look at this extracted text from a game of thrones: They set forth at daybreak to see a man beheaded, twenty in all, and Bran . Pay attention to the see a man beheaded. Beheaded here is p.p, so this phrase is similar to the second sentence in my question; I saw a person killed by someone in street. | |
