sense verb + OBJECT + VERB-ing – English Grammar Profiler

B2 point 54 in VERBS/patterns is defined as:

some verbs connected with the senses + direct object + an ‘-ing’ form, to give emphasis to an ongoing activity.

*I don’t believe B2 complexity should hinge on ‘activity’.  It should also include a state.  For example:

I don’t see myself being with anyone else but you, Sarah.
