关于英语 (美国) 的问题
GRAMMAR QUESTION: which phrase is correct: 1) You see it HAPPENS everyday or 2) You see it HAPPEN everyday. I came across "you see it happen everyday" and I don't understand why they aren't conjugating the verb "happen" (because as far I can see, it's referring to "it"). Am I missing something else maybe? Do people say (1) despite being a grammar mistake?

That is just the way this construction works. The sentence is not stating that it happens every day. It’s stating that you see it happening.
You see someone/something do something
Ex. You see him drive to work every day.
Ex. You see the sun rise every day.

@Craig_C @bsloan7 thank you so much guys, your help was very helpful! And @bsloan7 I think I know what you mean! It just clicked haha. Taking into account what you said, I realized that it's the same structure as "let's make it happen" (you don't say "happens"). So it's just the way that it goes. Thank you so much!
